## Resource

Welcome to Active Reload! This week, James, Grant, and Steven discuss the massive changes in leadership at Xbox Game Studios. Phil Spencer retires, Sarah Bond resigns, Asha Sharma the new gaming CEO, Matt Booty promoted to CCO. Could this be the beginning of the end of Xbox Game Pass and maybe the Xbox as a console? Or could it be a welcome change bringing back Xbox towards their prime? Next, the guys go through some big releases this week such as Resident Evil Requiem and World of Warcraft Midnight, and the Marathon Server Slam! Remember to rate, follow, like and subscribe!
