Xbox Division Announces Additional Job Cuts

Microsoft's Xbox division has announced another round of layoffs, impacting 268 roles across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and Xbox Game Studios management. These cuts follow a significant restructuring in July 2026, bringing total job reductions at Xbox to approximately 20% of its workforce for FY 2027. This reflects a broader trend of job instability in the video game industry, prompting increased discussions about unionization among workers.
