Microsoft Xbox Division Layoffs: Fourth Round Of Job Cuts Likely To Impact Thousands
Thousands of people will lose their jobs as Microsoft intends to conduct huge layoffs in the Xbox department and the worldwide sales department.
Microsoft Xbox Division Layoffs:According to reports, Microsoft will embark on another huge round of layoffs next week with the Xbox division and global sales departments as the biggest casualties. Bloomberg estimates thousands of people will be affected by these cuts and this forms part of an overall corporate re-organisation in line with the Microsoft fiscal-year-end of 30 June.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft is already planning to reduce the number of employees, thousands of them, mainly in the sales department, in the near future. This comes after the sacking of 6,000 workers in a drive towards an artificial intelligence.
Previous cost economies have already been far reaching. In January 2024 Microsoft reduced its gaming division labor force by 1,900 employees. In September, another 650 were fired, resulting in the shuttering of studios including Tango Gameworks, a team behind Hi-Fi Rush and, Arkane Austin, a team behind Redfall.
