Xbox, the gaming division of Microsoft, announced a plan to eliminate about 3,200 roles over the next year as part of a major reorganization. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma told staff the division is “not healthy,” citing Game Pass underperformance and an unprecedented hardware crisis. Roughly 1,600 employees are being let go immediately (including about 350 staff at four studios to be spun off or sold: Ninja Theory, Undead Labs, Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions), with up to 1,250 more cuts expected within 12 months. The memo sets three priorities — content portfolio, platform and operations — and will reduce management layers and streamline teams. Helen Chiang was promoted to Chief Operating Officer to oversee P&L across content, hardware, platform and services. Bloomberg also reported Microsoft plans broader company cuts of about 6,400 roles.
