Larry Hyrb announced he is leaving Xbox and will “step back and work on the next chapter of [his] career.” Hyrb, also known lovingly by Xbox fans as ‘Major Nelson’, has been with the brand nearly as long as it has existed and became the pseudo face of the brand during the Xbox 360 days.
After 20 incredible years, I have decided to take a step back and work on the next chapter of my career. As I take a moment and think about all we have done together, I want to thank the millions of gamers around the world who have included me as part of their lives. (1/3)
