Being at the head of a company whose main source of income is video games should be the perfect excuse to be a big gamer, or at least try the most relevant ones in your own business. Phil Spencer is no exception, he’s already shown his passion for Destiny 2, and he’s been seen in normal Halo Infinite matches before, but do we know how much he actually plays?
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Phil Spencer opened up about his work habits and the complications of being the head of a mega project like Xbox. He’s one of the managers who’s proven to know more about the industry he’s in, and for that you need to know your market and the consumer, or at least understand them. In this way, Spencer replied that he had quite an interesting and extensive gambling habit for his position.
Phil Spencer plays 15 hours a week and all kinds of games
I go to bed early, around 10 p.m.… I probably play more than 15 hours a week
Phil Spencer admits to sleeping early, so his day must be very productive not only at work, but also at home with his family. In this way, he comments that his intention is to return home and completely disconnect from work, taking his time to play from the moment he arrives until the moment he fully shares with his family.
In recent months, Xbox moves have been focused on the Activision acquisition, so they’ve been responding and saying a lot about Sony’s comments about it. Managing external communications and managing internal projects has motivated Phil Spencer to be more open these days, which is why he’s posted several interesting comments regarding the future of the company and upcoming games.
