Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced significant changes to the division's operational structure, including reducing management layers to a maximum of five and appointing Helen Chiang as the new Chief Operating Officer. These changes follow recent layoffs affecting approximately 1,200 employees, with plans for further reductions.
