Microsoft Gaming's structure continues to shift after the completion of the Activision Blizzard King acquisition. Everything indicates that the startup and positioning phase is over, and now it's time for growth with a handful of leaders who have experience within Microsoft and its gaming division. The most recent appointment is related to Xbox's main content creation division.

Xbox Game Studios has a new head, Alan Hartman, who, before taking on his new role, served as the Corporate Vice President of Turn 10, overseeing projects like Forza and Fable.
