THE CRUNCH
Xbox is set to lay off hundreds of employees this week, according to a report by The Information citing a person briefed on the plans. The company also intends to consolidate several of its game studios. This move follows a previous round of cuts in July that eliminated 1,600 roles and saw the divestment of five studios. The company has promised to remove another 1,600 roles by the end of fiscal year 2027.
