I come before you today with an important message, one that embodies the spirit of gaming and the unity it brings to us all. As CEO of Microsoft's gaming division, it's my honor to address you, the vibrant and passionate gaming community.
Gamer, the very essence of our industry, transcends boundaries and platforms. It's a term that unites us in our shared love for immersive experiences, thrilling adventures, and the boundless creativity that defines our medium. Our commitment to you, the gamers, remains unwavering, steadfast in our dedication to delivering unforgettable moments and groundbreaking innovation.
In the ever-evolving landscape of gaming, collaboration and inclusivity are paramount. Today, I stand before you to acknowledge the winds of change, the shifting paradigms that redefine how we play and connect. It's with this understanding that we embrace the concept of multiplatform gaming like never before.
We recognize the importance of choice, the freedom to explore diverse worlds and narratives regardless of the console you call home. Therefore, it is with humility and respect for the gaming community that we announce our intention to extend the reach of Xbox games to platforms beyond our own.
This decision is not merely about business or competition; it's about honoring the essence of gaming itself. For the gamer, it means unparalleled access to experiences previously unattainable, a world where boundaries blur, and possibilities abound.
To our fellow gamers on PlayStation and Nintendo platforms, I extend an olive branch of friendship and camaraderie. Together, let us embark on a new era of gaming, one defined by collaboration, diversity, and above all, the unwavering passion of the gamer.
In closing, let me reiterate our unwavering commitment to you, the gamer. As we journey forward, let us remember that it is you who shapes the very fabric of our industry, guiding us towards new horizons and limitless potential.
Thank you for your trust, your passion, and your unwavering dedication to the world of gaming.
Together, let us game on.
