Incidentally, he also received a nice sendoff from Xbox Division Head Phil Spencer, to which he responded in kind.
@XboxP3 thanks Phil – should be a wild ride. Thanks for being a classy platform leader at XBox!

Boyes has been a very popular face among Sony Interactive Entertainment Executives in the past few years, but it’ll be certainly interesting to see where he’ll bring his talents next.
Of course we wholeheartedly wish him good luck in his upcoming endeavors, and can’t wait to see what kind of games he’ll contribute to making. While we wait to know more, I’ll leave you with a classic Adam Boyes moment.
