Xbox CEO apologizes for PS5 logos at showcase

Xbox chief executive Asha Sharma apologized after fans criticized the company's plan to display PS5 and Switch 2 logos during its upcoming games showcase. The move followed comments from chief content officer Matt Booty about maintaining transparency on multiplatform titles.

Booty spoke on the latest Xbox podcast and confirmed that platform logos would continue to appear at the end of showcase trailers. He said the company wants to remain clear about which games will release on other systems such as the PS5 and Switch 2. Examples include upcoming titles like Fable and Halo: Campaign Evolved.
