One of the most consequential leaders our industry has had—and one of the most human. From studios to platforms, Phil backed the long‑term work that makes great games possible. Players first, creators empowered. The impact will be felt for years. Enjoy the next chapter.

It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life. It’s a milestone that’s given me a chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve been fortunate enough to share with so many of you.

Our purpose has always been to create stories about belonging and brotherhood.
The rapidly rising rates of suicide, depression and loneliness concern us deeply and we believe in the opportunity to come together to reduce and prevent further suffering.
That is why The Coalition continues to donate 1% of net revenue from all Gears of War games and merchandise to @CrisisTextLine who are working to prevent suicide and combat loneliness.
🛒If you would like to show your support; a new limited edition shirt & hoodie, designed by Ratta Rodriguez, are now available to purchase at the link in our bio. The 2025 Never Fight Alone merch will be available for a limited time only. Get them before they’re gone on September 24, 2025. All proceeds will be donated to Crisis Text Line. shop.gearsofwar.com
📲If you're in need of support, we encourage you to text PAUSE to 741741 for help.
