Xbox's Phil Spencer just celebrated his 55th birthday last week, and the New York Game Awards show has delivered quite the birthday present for the Xbox boss.
Phil attended last night's award show and walked home with the "Andrew Yoon Legend Award" - a prize that the boss is clearly proud of!
Spencer has garnered a number of awards during his time as Head of Xbox, and we must admit, this one sounds quite fitting for the Xbox leader! The awards show says this particular prize aims "to recognize people and organizations that have exhibited a significant, sustained body of work that shows exceptional artistic achievement and innovation."
That body of work looks set to grow in 2023, as Xbox ramps up its exclusive games schedule this calendar year. Let's hope we see a more organised schedule with release dates in about a week's time, following the January Xbox Developer_Direct.
Let us know your hopes for the Xbox event down in the comments. Oh, and feel free to congratulate Phil on his award!

he wins this award on a quiet year for Xbox, seems a strange year to win it on, but im sure hes a happy chap
Well deserved. Long career of making predominantly gamer focus decisions while also being more inclusive and progressive across the board.
Honestly don't know why he gets awards all he does is spend Microsofts cash 😂
Amazes me how much praise and awards Phil gets…he’s released like a handful of games since being head of Xbox. Less than half getting any sort of critical acclaim. He gave up the marketing rights of cod…which they’re still paying the price for. He gave up the chance to have marvel licences exclusive. He released a console with zero first party support in its second year…he also got huge accolades last year claiming it ‘wasn’t right’ to raise prices during an economic crisis…knowing they had no games to release that they could raise the price on (and also after attempting to double the price of gold peak pandemic)…then soon as they do have games actually on the horizon the price ‘finally’ goes to £70… and didn’t he still managed to pick up a best publisher award in 22??. Crazy how far a good public image can take you.
But as that one guy will say… well deserved Phil.
@Would_you_kindly you try n convince a board to spend $70B+ on video games and you'll get awards too I'm sure lol
