Microsoft Gaming to Lay Off 3% of Global Workforce, About 650 Employees, in Additional Post-Activision Blizzard Cuts


Microsoft Gaming will lay off approximately 650 employees, or 3% of the Xbox owner's global workforce.

Microsoft Gaming will lay off approximately 650 employees, or 3% of the Xbox owner’s global workforce, in a new round of eliminations following last year’s completion of its Activision Blizzard acquisition. “For the past year, our goal has been to minimize disruption while welcoming new teams and enabling them to do their best work,” Spencer said in an email to staff Thursday, which was obtained by Variety. Back in January, the company announced it would be laying off 1,900 employees, roughly 8% of its workforce at that time, across divisions Xbox, Activision Blizzard and ZeniMax.
