Xbox boss Phil Spencer will receive a lifetime achievement award at the upcoming D.I.C.E. Awards later this month in Las Vegas. The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has announced that the Microsoft veteran will be presented with the honor at the awards show on February 24, with none other than Bethesda veteran Todd Howard–2017’s recipient of the award–presenting the award to him.
Spencer joined Microsoft all the way back in 1988 as an intern. He held multiple different positions over the years, rising all the way to the top of the Xbox division. He is currently the CEO for Microsoft Gaming, a new division within Microsoft that was established as part of the company’s proposed buyout of Activision Blizzard.
