After careful consideration, I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management.

Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new ownership with funding to complete and grow Senua and State of Decay 3. In France, Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options.

      in my life, i have never seen a company release a company they own and give the IP back to those people. you should be happy or at least respect it. i cant think of a better outcome.

        Not much left to boycott. Just don’t subscribe to Gamepass and that cuts off their only actual revenue stream left lmao.

          Video games are not a necessity, it’s a luxury that you feel entitled to because of your privilege

          What an idiotic comment. Nobody is asking for you to boycott everything you don’t like, but we all have to draw our lines at some point, and looks like OP has done just that. You don’t have to like their line, but you also should not discourage others when they are trying to do something that’s more right than not.

            I’m not discouraging but there is a difference between “I boycott Forza because …” and “You support a genocide because you bought Forza” and I’m sure you’re aware of that. As you said, we all draw our lines somewhere, working together, and shouldn’t point fingers at other lines when we don’t know the circumstances.
