In a recent announcement, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer revealed that the company will be implementing layoffs within its gaming division. This decision comes a little over three months after Microsoft closed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, highlighting the ongoing process of integrating the two entities.
Approximately 1,900 roles, which constitute about 8.6% of Microsoft Gaming's workforce, will be impacted by these layoffs. However, it is important to note that this constitutes less than 1% of Microsoft's total workforce. Spencer acknowledged the contributions of those affected, emphasizing their vital role in the success of Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax, and the Xbox teams.
