Top Microsoft executives missed Xbox-related pay targets in five of the past six years

Game File reports, citing Microsoft’s annual proxy filing, that top executives missed an Xbox-related compensation goal for the fifth time in six years. The latest goal sought 4.3% growth in Xbox content and services revenue in the 12 months ended June 30, 2026, but revenue declined 6%. The metric, tied to a small portion of their pay, replaced a Game Pass subscriber-growth goal in 2023.
