The CEO of Xbox, Asaas Sharma, has introduced a new boot-up sound for the consoles, which sounds similar to the current soundbite. This is part of a series of changes for Microsoft's consoles, with the announcement made on Twitter. An update will be made for consoles on May 13. This announcement comes amidst a mixed period for the company, with Phil Spencer stepping down in February and a decrease in hardware sales quarter-on-quarter. Additionally, Copilot features are being rolled back across Xbox systems, although there are no numbers on adoption rates for these additions.
