Xbox, the gaming brand under Microsoft, has made a lot of announcements about new products lately, including collaborations with AMD and ASUS to develop a new console ecosystem, and also with Meta to introduce the Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition virtual reality set.
However, all these new announcements still won't help the employees under the division as it has been reported that Microsoft will still lay off a number of employees through an announcement to be made next week.
Xbox has laid off more than 2000 employees throughout 2024 and several studios under them such as Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Games and Tango Gameworks have either been laid off completely, or absorbed into other studios.
Xbox management expects that this latest round of layoffs will release many employees under the brand, but has not yet confirmed who will be affected by this latest round of layoffs.
