Xbox leadership is publicly dismissing acquisition rumors even as the division undergoes significant restructuring. CEO Asha Sharma stated the company is not for sale and committed to turning around Xbox's performance through internal efforts. This declaration comes amid layoffs across multiple first-party studios and substantial organizational changes, though the specifics of the turnaround strategy remain unclear beyond the personnel reductions already underway.
- Sharma explicitly denied Xbox is being sold, countering recent buyout speculation.
- The commitment to fix Xbox's trajectory is happening alongside ongoing staff cuts across owned studios.
- Concrete details about the recovery plan beyond layoffs have not been outlined.
