CEO Satya Nadella says Microsoft is "very much focused on gaming", and "ensuring that all the 3 billion gamers around the world get the best content".

Nadella spoke about Microsoft's gaming strategy in the company's annual shareholder meeting, which took place on December 2. As transcribed by Seeking Alpha via VGC, Nadella responded to a question that was submitted by a shareholder, who asked "what is being done to set Xbox apart from the PS5 to win the console war".

"You've seen us double our content portfolio with ZeniMax acquisition, you see us make advances in our community efforts and our subscription offers with Game Pass. And that's what you can expect from us. We are absolutely very, very much focused on gaming, and ensuring that all the 3 billion gamers around the world get the best content, best community and the best cloud services to power their gaming experiences going forward."  

Phil Spencer and Tim Stuart recently spoke about the ZeniMax acquisition, which will bring Bethesda's portfolio of games to the Xbox lineup. The pair revealed that Microsoft "will absolutely" buy more studios in the future, and Spencer has also teased some unannounced projects in the works from Bethesda.
