Microsoft Cuts Xbox Jobs and Sells Studios

Microsoft laid off many employees on Monday, with a big cut in its Xbox team.

About 1,600 Xbox employees will lose their jobs now, and more will go by 2027.

Microsoft is also changing its studios. Double Fine and Compulsion Games will be independent again, and Ninja Theory and Undead Labs will have new owners.

The Xbox CEO, Asha Sharma, said the Xbox business is not doing well. It loses money, and there are too many games.

More jobs will be cut in other game companies that Microsoft owns. But no announced games will be canceled.

There might be changes at Arkane Studios, which is making a delayed game. This could take a few months to decide.

The company that reported this news is related to another company that owns gaming websites.

This news is about Microsoft and Xbox.
