Alan Hartman, the head of Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 Studios, has been promoted to head of Xbox Game Studios. The news was confirmed by Hartman himself on his LinkedIn page. He wrote, “Thrilled to be representing such an elite set of game creators in my new role leading Xbox Game Studios.”

Hartman had been the head of Turn 10 since 2005, while in 2021, he was also appointed corporate vice president of the Forza and Fable franchises. It hasn’t yet been confirmed who will be stepping in as the new head of Turn 10 following Hartman’s promotion.
