Xbox has been taking all sorts of action to improve gaming sustainability, and one of the people driving this change within the company is the Director of Gaming Sustainability, Trista Patterson.
In celebration of her efforts, she's now made TIME's top "100 climate" list - highlighting the "most influential leaders driving business to real climate action". Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer even congratulated her for helping game developers reduce emissions and energy bills without impacting game performance:
Here's what TIME had to say about Patterson's role at Xbox:
"Trista Patterson is the chief sustainability officer at Xbox, where she spearheads the gaming company’s ambitious target to be carbon negative by 2030. She co-founded the U.N. Playing4thePlanet Alliance to help the world’s largest video-game companies and their players set more ambitious climate goals. In 2023, Xbox released a toolkit to help developers track and reduce emissions from their games, an industry first."
You can learn more about Trista's views on climate technology and change on the TIME website and also on Xbox Wire, where she appeared on the Xbox podcast earlier this year to talk about gaming sustainability. Microsoft co-founder and former CEO Bill Gates also made the same list.

Huh, well I guess that's something.
All it took was throwing the install base under the bus and making our experience a little worse.
Definitely didn’t affect game performance
Still getting the mediocre games from Xbox
We have been for the last couple of years
Only time we there’s a buzz around an Xbox game is when it’s really really bad like red fall
Always stuck with Xbox just glad I have a ps5 too
Pretty much same games but better exclusives
@Meehanuk_1987 Defo agree there. The highlight for the year on Xbox was Hifi Rush. Everything else has dissapointed or been subpar. Not really into openworld RPGs like Starfield but yeh not a great year. Tbh for me this year the Switch has probably been the best of the three and has blitzed it with there releases.
Xbox is Team Green for a reason, I guess.
However, I can’t help but think that Microsoft has probably helped add more plastic to landfill than probably any other company. How many billions of old PCs with Microsoft software on are just sat there poisoning the earth right now? How many old Xboxes and controllers and plastic game cases will there be piled up in 10 years time?
I’m no eco warrior, but that’s not exactly green is it.
Very cool! I love that they have this role at the company.
This is a good look for Microsoft.
