Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has stressed that new CEO Satya Nadella is a firm supported of the company’s Xbox division, cooling fears that the company may cut off its gaming arm over time.

It follows claims that Microsoft CEO candidate Stephen Elop would consider releasing the Xbox brand if it was deemed ‘non-essential’ to the business.

Nadella was named Microsoft’s new CEO yesterday, after a lengthy screening process saw several high-profile candidates weeded out. Spencer then discussed Nadella’s promotion with gamers on Twitter.

Congrats to Satya Nadella on becoming new Microsoft CEO. Good leader, good guy and will be a great CEO.

@Delena4Ever999 Yes, I know Satya. He's been a good supporter of Studios and XBOX.
