Overview
- Xbox leadership, in a Wednesday memo reported by The Verge, said the default email for gaming employees will change to @xbox.com next month with an option to opt out.
- Mojang staff will receive @mojang.com addresses, and everyone keeps their @microsoft.com alias so existing contacts still work.
- Microsoft frames the move as a way to strengthen how the Xbox group presents itself inside the company and to outside partners.
- Activision and Bethesda will keep using their own domains, which preserves studio identities while central teams shift to Xbox-branded emails.
- This is the first organization-wide push for Xbox emails after years of by-request aliases, following last week’s memo that retired the Microsoft Gaming name and reset priorities around players, hardware, content, experience, and services.
