These latest layoffs will be in addition to the 6,000 cuts Microsoft already made in May, and on top of the more than 300 impacted earlier this month, too. Any major Xbox cuts will be the latest in a series of big gaming-related layoffs over the past 18 months, after Microsoft laid off 1,900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox employees in January 2024 and then in May 2024 the company closed several game studios, including Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Redfall developer Arkane Austin.
