Phil Spencer Retires, Sarah Bond Out in Xbox Leadership Shakeup - IGN Daily Fix

In today's Daily Fix: In IGN exclusive report, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has announced his retirement from Xbox after 38 years with parent company Microsoft. Xbox President Sarah Bond is also resigning. Asha Sharma, currently President of Microsoft's CoreAI product, will be the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming. Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty will be promoted to Chief Content Officer and will work closely with Sharma. In other news, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has confirmed two new Far Cry projects are in development, and has assured Splinter Cell fans the remake is still happening, despite futher layoffs at Splinter Cell dev Ubisoft Toronto. And finally, Nintendo is dropping Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen onto Switch as separate $20 games. This has confused—and angered—some fans who wonder why the titles weren't added to the Game Boy Advance player as part of Nintendo Switch Online.
