It seems the cuts just keep on coming within Microsoft's gaming division. A
company-wide reorganization is taking place, and that's slated to include
another major round of layoffs within the Xbox team. Those cuts will be
confirmed next week, according to Bloomberg. Engadget has contacted Microsoft
for comment.

Microsoft confirmed last month that it would lay off about three percent of
its total workforce across all teams, levels and regions in an attempt to
streamline operations and flatten its management structure. That equates to
around 7,000 people losing their jobs. Per Bloomberg's report, Xbox managers
are anticipating "substantial cuts across the entire group."

Microsoft cut 1,900 workers from its gaming division in January 2024, and
another 650 last September. It also closed down Arkane Austin and Alpha Dog
Games last year, while merging Roundhouse Studios into ZeniMax Online
Studios. It shut down Tango Gameworks as well, but Krafton ΓÇö the publisher
of PUBG: Battlegrounds ΓÇö acquired that studio last August.

For the first three months of this calendar year, Microsoft reported net
revenue of $25.8 billion. It also said that its Xbox content and services
revenue had increased by eight percent year-over-year.
