In an exclusive interview with Windows Central, Asha Sharma described her leadership as a “return to Xbox,” emphasizing stronger commitment to console hardware and long-term player trust. She said protecting the time and money players have invested in the ecosystem is a priority, and hinted that hardware-related announcements are on the way.
Speaking alongside Matt Booty, Sharma noted that while nothing is off the table strategically, she wants time to review past decisions and data before making adjustments. Booty dismissed speculation that Xbox could shift into becoming only a publisher, stressing that its first-party studio system remains central to the platform.
On artificial intelligence, Sharma stated Xbox will not flood its ecosystem with careless or derivative content. Booty added that there are no AI directives coming from Microsoft, and that technology should support human creativity. The leadership also reaffirmed support for a broad portfolio — from experimental projects to major franchises like Call of Duty and Minecraft.

Sharma summarized her approach as “proof over promise” as Xbox prepares for its next 25 years.

Do you think this console-focused direction can strengthen Xbox’s future?
