Xbox XP division takes games into film, TV and live events

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma also emailed employees about the changes. She had previously told staff the company would build long-term plans for Xbox franchises across film, television, consumer products, sponsorship and live experiences as part of a broader reset of the Xbox business. Since taking over in February, Sharma has enacted sweeping layoffs, sold off studios and reorganised Xbox's studio structure, including putting Activision in charge of Halo.

Mojang will now be led by Maria Angelidou-Smith, who leaves her role as Reddit's chief product officer to become CEO of Mojang and Minecraft. She starts on October 19th.

For fans in Tunisia, the practical effect is more Xbox-related films, series, merchandise and live events over time. Some projects are already confirmed, such as the Fallout series on Prime Video and the Diablo animated series for Netflix, while others are still in development. No Tunisian release dates, cinema plans or local pricing have been announced, so availability will depend on regional streaming and retail channels.
