#Xbox first Chief Operating Officer (COO) Helen Chiang is leaving the company less than three months after taking on the role.
Chiang spent 21 years at Microsoft and previously headed Minecraft before being promoted to Xbox COO in July. Asha Sharma tasked her with overseeing loss responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services” as part of Xbox’s “big reset”.
A seemingly nigh-impossible task given Xbox’s broken business model and margins, which have contributed to an unprecedented 9,000+ layoffs in recent years (more than 42% of Xbox staff), alongside over a dozen studio closures, divestitures and mergers.
Multiple more rounds of layoffs are reported to follow.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced Chiang’s departure in a surprisingly brief memo today: “Helen Chiang is leaving Microsoft today. I’m grateful for her years of service and wish her well.”
This marks the second high-profile departure under Asha Sharma in just the last few months. Xbox VP of Engineering Jared Palmer also left his role after less than three months, back in July.

La guerra de consolas cada vez me interesa menos. Si un juego es bueno, quiero que llegue a la mayor cantidad de jugadores posible.
Entiendo el valor de las exclusivas, pero como jugador prefiero tener más opciones para disfrutar de los juegos que me gustan.

In September, US #PS5 hardware revenue rose 43% and unit sales rose 22%, despite high prices.
In a GamesBeat interview, Circana’s Mat Piscatella attributed most of that momentum to Marvel’s Wolverine rather than GTA 6.
He also noted that #Xbox hardware unit sales fell 27% l-time September low, highlighting that Xbox had not seen the same system-selling boost from GTA 6 that PlayStation had. Xbox also lacked a comparable hardware-driving release like Wolverine.
Piscatella:
“We look at the weekly cadence. We did see some upticks after the Netflix reveal, but then the uptick for Marvel’s Wolverine’s launch week was far bigger. Ballpark, that positive impact was probably 70% driven by Wolverine, 30% GTA VI, but it’s all squishy numbers.
The thing is, though, when you look at PlayStation 5 compared to Xbox Series — Grand Theft Auto VI is coming out on both platforms, whether people know it or not — the Xbox Series numbers were bad. It was the lowest September ever for Xbox, 27% below last year in units. So there was no impact of the GTA VI reveal on Xbox, or no noticeable positive impact, at least. It’s hard to parse out individual contributing factors, but that’s my gut read looking at the data.”

Xbox Game Pass comes to Android with DroidDeck!
#DroidDeck 0.6.0 adds experimental support for #Xbox and PC Game Pass, letting users sign in with a #Microsoft account, browse their libraries, download compatible games, and run them locally on Android.
Games launch through relying on Xbox Cloud Gaming. The update also adds an itch.io store and other improvements.
Compatibility depends on the game and device, so this isn't universal support for every #GamePass title.
Would you play your PC Game Pass library on an #Android handheld?
