Xbox Is Trying Movies and TV Again - Inside Games Daily

But yes, this is from Xbox Chief Strategy Officer Matthew Ball, who revealed the new division in a post on Xbox Wire this morning, accompanied by a companion piece from the beloved CEO, Asha Sharma, that announced new executive appointments involving the division.

There's one thing I love.

It's executives appointing other executives who make millions of dollars a year.

That's my favorite part.

I know that's how you know it's going to be a success.

Former Mojang Studios president Kayleen Walters

will head Xbox XP, and then new hire Maria Angelidou-Smith, formerly of Meta and Reddit, will step in as CEO of Mojang and Minecraft.

All right, exec's going to exec.

Tech CEOs really love swapping each other around, but yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Matthew Ball says the mission of Xbox XP will be to, quote, partner with the best creative minds across our studios, along with trusted partners to build more ways for people to experience the worlds they love.

I swear to God, I've heard that exact sentence.

I want to say 20 times in the last 10 years.

I feel like Microsoft grows new executives like the Zerg in Starcraft.

They just hatch out of pods and burst open and flood the area.

But yes, the fun is only just beginning, boys, and that will be expressed through four, quote, investment areas.

Oh boy, I love these.

Xbox Pictures will develop...

Ah, man.

I can't even read this without laughing.

Will develop film, television, and quote, other forms of linear storytelling.

Oh my God, I just got that all these abbreviate to XP.

I don't know why it took me that long.

Ah, there it is.

Okay, all right.
