We break down the new teaser details and why Sony chose to dodge the GTA 6 window. 15:00 Xbox Change After nearly four decades, the "face of Xbox," Phil Spencer, is officially stepping down. With Sarah Bond also departing, we discuss Asha Sharma's appointment as the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming. Can an AI-focused leader "recommit to the console" as she promises, or is this the beginning of the end for Xbox hardware?
