Last year, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella promoted Xbox boss Phil Spencer to a role that saw him overseeing basically all of the company's gaming endeavours instead of one element in particular. With this promotion, Spencer vacated his role as the boss of game development and publishing specifically. Now, Spencer has found a replacement.

Matt Booty, who helped bring Minecraft to Microsoft and held a high-level title in the lucrative Minecraft business, is now a Corporate Vice President for Microsoft Studios, according to VentureBeat. In that role, Booty will be responsible for executing on the strategy that Spencer lays out in terms of game publishing and development. He will reportedly directly to Spencer, effectively making him No. 2 of the Xbox division.
