Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has told employees that the gaming business needs to get back to growth within the next year. According to a memo reported by The Verge, Sharma set a target for Xbox to return to both player growth and revenue growth by the end of June 2027.
The message comes after a major restructuring, making the timeline especially notable for staff and industry watchers. Sharma's memo suggests that Xbox leadership is now focused on rebuilding momentum after a period of internal change.
The goal covers two key measures for the business: expanding the number of players using Xbox products and services, and improving the revenue performance tied to that audience. Framing both metrics together signals that the company is looking beyond cost changes and wants to see a broader recovery in engagement and financial results.
While the memo does not lay out every step publicly, the deadline gives Xbox teams a clear benchmark. The report points to a leadership push to stabilize the business after restructuring and show measurable progress over the coming year.
