Even now there's misinformation floating around, so let me make this clear: Xbox is cutting 3,200 jobs, or 20% of the organization. 1,600 jobs will be eliminated today, and then another 1,600 (including the studio divestments) in the next 12 months. Full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Microsoft’s Xbox to Cut 3,200 Jobs, Divest Five Studios in Major Overhaul
Compulsion and Double Fine studios will become independent; Undead Labs and Ninja Theory will be sold. Xbox will also look to sell or spin out Arkane Studios.

Genuinely hate this and the entire industry cutting jobs. Talented people lives being uprooted because line always needs to go up. And rumors of undead lab possibly being included in the layoffs. I'm so over Xbox, Playstation and gaming companies.

if any Xbox employee from any studio or part of the company want to chat with a reporter about all this, anonymously or otherwise, my email and Signal are in my bio, and I would like to listen. I cannot fathom what everyone must be feeling right now.

Looking back at this list from the 2021 era and it's hard not to be sad at this fumble of talent and potential. Xbox could have laid a solid foundation to build a diverse lineup that any other publisher would be envious of. Instead they got layoffs, closures, or survivor's guilt and an escape plan.
A list of Xbox Game Studios circa 2021, and where they are today:
343 Industries: Rebranded as Halo Studios, suffered layoffs in 2023
World's Edge: Working on Age of Empires games
The Coalition: Working on Gears of War, suffered layoffs in 2023 and 2025
Compulsion Games: Worked on South of Midnight, now set to be shuttered
Double Fine: Worked on Kiln
Xbox Game Studios Publishing: Suffered layoffs in 2025
The Initiative: Was working Perfect Dark, shuttered
Inxile: Working on Clockwork Revolution
Mojang: Working on Minecraft Dungeons 2
Ninja Theory: Project Mara cancelled, working on Hellblade 3
Obsidian Entertainment: Working on Grounded 2
Playground Games: Working on Fable
Rare: Everwild cancelled, layoffs in 2025
Turn10: Forza Motorsport cancelled, suffered layoffs in 2025
Undead Labs: Working on State of Decay 3, suffered layoffs in 2025
Arkane: Austin studio shuttered
Machinegames: Worked on Indiana Jones
Zenimax Online: Project Blackbird cancelled, suffered layoffs in 2025
Bethedsa: Working on Elder Scrolls, suffered layoffs in 2023
id Software: Working on Doom DLC
Tango Gameworks: Worked on Hi-Fi Rush, studio shuttered and then picked up by Krafton
Alpha Dog: Worked on Mighty DOOM, shuttered
Roundhouse Studios: Co-developed Redfall, shuttered

These people do not deserve this. The game was a great start to a refreshing and new IP. I get the business side, but XBOX needs gamepass games, South of Midnight was a great one for the service and for their brand. Representation really matters. Just sucks to see the trend continue.

Mixtape deserves every 10/10. The game far exceeded my expectations and pulled at my heart strings so much. I'll love it forever, same as I do The Artful Escape. Beethoven & Dinosaur make such unique experiences that no one else is doing. One of my favorite dev teams ever.

I hate this so much. The game was shit on for the dumbest things. It's amazing how quick the devs implemented changes yet they're still having to lay off most of the staff. The game industry as a whole needs a huge fucking reset.

Gaming stocks are dropping today after Google's rollout of Project Genie, an AI tool that lets users create and explore virtual worlds for 60 seconds. This is the result of a market that does not understand how video games are made. Allow me to suggest that the Street read Blood, Sweat, and Pixels
