Microsoft says it will deepen its connection with players and developers.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharna posted on Twitter that she has made some changes to Xbox leadership, promoting long-time employees who helped create Xbox while also bringing in new people.

She also said the company will drop features that don’t fit the direction Xbox is currently pursuing.

And to start things off, Microsoft is shutting down Copilot on mobile devices and stopping development of Copilot on Xbox consoles.

Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.
Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business…
