Xbox will reportedly conduct another major round of layoffs next week

<p>It seems the cuts just keep on coming within Microsoft's gaming division. A company-wide reorganization is taking place, and that's slated to include another major round of layoffs within the Xbox team. Those cuts will be confirmed next week, according to <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-24/microsoft-plans-major-job-cuts-at-xbox-gaming-division">Bloomberg[/url]. Engadget has contacted Microsoft for comment.</p>
<p>Microsoft <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/microsoft-is-laying-off-3-percent-of-its-global-workforce-154755787.html">confirmed last month[/url] that it would lay off about three percent of its total workforce across all teams, levels and regions in an attempt to streamline operations and flatten its management structure. That equates to around 7,000 people losing their jobs. Per Bloomberg's report, Xbox managers are anticipating &quot;substantial cuts across the entire group.&quot;&nbsp;</p>
