Phil Spencer has done a lot to change the narrative around Xbox in recent years, and he's getting formal recognition for it! At this year's DICE awards, which took place in Las Vegas, Phil was granted the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to gaming.
After a short introduction by the one and only Todd Howard, Phil took to the stage to discuss his tenure at Xbox, and to thank his peers who helped along the way. Here's a look at what he had to say:
The speech is heavily focused on the culture of the gaming industry and what needs to be done to make it a more inclusive place. It's poignant and indeed relevant, particularly as Microsoft presses on with its acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Well deserved Phil and a great speech.
Worth watching from 1:32:30 to see the build up and love in despite some technical problems!
There will always be naysayers but Phil and his team have done amazing work in turning the Xbox brand around. That can't be denied. Much deserved.
He looked so utterly humbled, he nearly cried! A fully deserved award for what he has done. And a great speech too, always praising everyone else.
Phil Spencer is a hero on par with all the great American heroes including war heroes
Absolutely deserved.
You may like Phil, or dislike him, but the fact remains that the brand is thriving under his leadership and he does much to protect it in the future to come. Much deserved award!
Very good speech, especially about the working culture. Other than that, it's him being himself as always.
I don't get the billions talk though.
"After a short introduction by the one and only Todd Howard"
So Phil popped-in onto the stage, his arm passed through his torso, and then he clipped through the floor?
Better tagline would’ve been “it’ll hit you right in the Phils”
