On July 6, 2026, Microsoft laid off approximately 1,600 employees in its Xbox division, the largest workforce reduction in the division's history. The company plans to cut a total of 3,200 Xbox positions by the end of the current fiscal year. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma sent an internal memo describing the move as an "Xbox Reset," citing the division's profit margin being one-third to one-tenth of industry peers and slowed growth relative to rising costs. Four studios acquired by Microsoft in recent years will regain independence: Double Fine and Compulsion Games under their founders' leadership, and Ninja Theory and Undead Labs through sales. The memo stated that previously announced first-party games will not be canceled, and Microsoft agreed to provide development funding for Ninja Theory's "Senua" and Undead Labs' "State of Decay 3." Arkane Studios has begun labor-management consultations about its future. Employees across Bethesda Game Studios, ZeniMax Online Studios, and Obsidian Entertainment also reported layoffs, with some saying they received no prior warning. The reductions follow earlier Microsoft gaming layoffs of 1,900 in 2024 and over 6,000 in May 2025. The layoffs on July 6 represent half of the 3,200 planned; the remaining cuts are expected within the fiscal year.
