The Internet is just a series of portals, right?

Xbox Game Studios Publishing has hired Kim Swift as the new senior director of cloud gaming. The announcement was made via a tweet made earlier today. Swift has been hired to "accelerate our innovation and collaborate with independent studios to build games for the cloud."

Kim Swift has had a pretty lengthy stint in the gaming industry. She got her start at Valve having been the project lead for Portal and a designer on Left 4 Dead. She then went on to work at Amazon and even EA. Most recently, Swift was a game design director on Google Stadia. She parted ways from Google after the company shut down its first-party studios.
