Microsoft Gaming’s CEO, Phil Spencer, said that the Xbox Roadmap “, the equipment and the playing roadmap never looked stronger” in the middle of a studio closure, game cancellations and generalized layoffs.
As Bloomberg reported, the Microsoft Games Division was struck by significant layoffs. This includes job cuts at Mobile Game Maker King, Zenimax, Rare, Halo Studios and Turn 10 Studios.
The next rare game Farce has apparently been shot, just like an unexpected game of The elder scrolls online Zenimax developer online studios. The planned Perfect Dark The restart was also preserved, with the studio behind, the initiative, closed.
In an email sent to the staff, Spencer said that these decisions were intended to “position the games for lasting success and to allow us to focus on the” more “strategic growth areas increase agility and efficiency” overall.
“I recognize that these changes arise at a time when we have more players, games and hours of play than ever. Our platform, our equipment and our game roadmap have never been stronger. The success we are currently seeing is based on difficult decisions that we have taken before,” he continued.
These “difficult decisions” probably include studios and previous layoffs, such as Arkane Austin trigger, Alpha Dog games, round games and Tango GameWorks last year.
“We must make choices now for continuous success in the coming years and a key element of this strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest opportunities. We will protect what is booming and concentrate efforts on the fields with the greatest potential, while offering the expectations of society for our company. This targeted approach means that we can offer exceptional games and experiences for the generations for the generations to come.”
