Microsoft Explores Metaverse for Business Despite Gaming Leadership's Skepticism

Microsoft sees potential for metaverse in business communications, but gaming leadership is less enthusiastic.

Activision CEO Bobby Kotick believes metaverse will materialize, while Xbox head Phil Spencer calls it a "poorly built videogame."

Leaked docs say Microsoft planned to integrate crypto wallets into Xbox, which Spencer didn't deny.

If crypto plans remain, they could expand to Activision games.

Microsoft's metaverse platform Mesh complements Teams and contains some gaming features.
