Since 2016, Novak has served as Xbox's head of research and design, guiding the user experience across gaming at Microsoft including its consoles, Game Pass, Xbox Live and xCloud.
"I have loved my time with Xbox," Novak said in a LinkedInPost. "Building end-to-end experiences for gamers is a privilege. There are very few things one gets to work on in life which evoke such passion in people around the world. I adore listening to gamers and envisioning that next moment of unexpected delight. Gaming is amazing. Xbox will always be with me."
Novak doesn't have a new role in mind currently, instead opting to take some time off to learn new things.
"I'm just about to be 20 years with Xbox," Novak told the outlet. "For me, some of the things that are coming up for Xbox, which are tremendously exciting, would be committing to years worth of work there."
