Xbox executives reportedly missed performance targets in 5 of last 6 years

Reports say Microsoft CEO and top Xbox executives missed annual performance targets in five of the last six years. These milestones are tied to executive compensation. Recent reports indicate these missed goals involved Game Pass expansion and related service offerings.

Earlier this year, the division targeted a 4.3 percent increase by June, but instead posted a six percent drop. While milestones focused on Game Pass until 2023, the company has since shifted focus toward content and service-related revenue targets.

Xbox is currently undergoing restructuring. Management intends to cut nearly 3200 positions by FY27, having already dismissed hundreds of staff with further reductions scheduled. Xbox reported a 3% profit last year.
