Microsoft has laid off thousands of workers as part of cost-cutting measures, impacting various divisions, with Xbox being particularly affected. This marks the fourth layoff in 18 months for Microsoft Gaming. Less than 4 percent of the global workforce is impacted, equating to over 9,100 people. An Xbox spokesperson stated that the gaming division is affected but not the majority. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer highlighted the strength of their platform and roadmap whilst acknowledging the contributions of impacted employees. Changes aim to enhance agility and focus on strategic growth areas.
We continue to implement organizational and workforce changes that are necessary to position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace.
Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger, and simply put, we would not be where we are without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted.
