"After 20 incredible years, I have decided to take a step back and work on the next chapter of my career. As I take a moment and think about all we have done together, I want to thank the millions of gamers around the world who have included me as part of their lives.

"Also, thanks to Xbox team members for trusting me to have a direct dialogue with our customers. The future is bright for Xbox and as a gamer, I am excited to see the evolution.

“P.S. The official Xbox Podcast will be taking a hiatus this Summer and will come back in a new format.”

    That’s wild! I never played on Xbox, so I didn’t follow up with Xbox news too often, but Major Nelson was undeniably a major presence in the gaming scene for a long time.
