Final Fantasy 16 suddenly arrives on Xbox Series X/S
Xbox fans don't need to wait any longer to play Final Fantasy XVI on their Series X/S. Two years after the action RPG debuted on PS5, it got a surprise release on Xbox's consoles on Sunday. Its sudden arrival was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase as part of Summer Game Fest.
The game's now available via the Xbox PC app as well. Granted, Final Fantasy XVI has been on Steam and the Epic Games store since last September, but some folks might have been waiting for its arrival on Xbox. Buying Final Fantasy XVI once on any Xbox platform means you'll be able to play it across console, PC and cloud with synced progression.
A complete edition that includes both Final Fantasy XVI expansions is available for Xbox. There's a standard edition that includes the base game as well.
The arrival of Final Fantasy XVI on Xbox means that you can now play all the mainline, single-player Final Fantasy games on Microsoft's consoles, save for the Final Fantasy VII remakes. However, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is coming to Xbox this winter — just in time for those new Xbox gaming handhelds.

Microsoft Layoffs Result in at Least 3 Games Being Cancelled
Microsoft is moving ahead with mass layoffs, cutting just under 4% of its workforce, or around 9,000 roles across the company. Perhaps unavoidably, multiple games in development within Xbox Game Studios have been cancelled as a result. When reached for comment, Microsoft directed CNET to reports Wednesday by Variety, confirming their accuracy. "To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness," Microsoft Gaming chief Phil Spencer wrote in a staff memo Wednesday morning, as published by Variety. Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty confirmed the game cancellations in an internal email published by Variety, naming Perfect Dark and Everwild specifically, as well as other "unannounced" titles. "We have made the decision to stop development of Perfect Dark and Everwild as well as wind down several unannounced projects across our portfolio," Booty wrote in the email. "As part of this, we are closing one of our studios, The Initiative." Booty added that the decisions to axe these games "reflect a broader effort to adjust priorities and focus resources to set up our teams for greater success within a changing industry landscape. We did not make these choices lightly, as each project and team represent years of effort, imagination, and commitment." What Xbox games have been cancelled? Perhaps the most significant title cancelled amid these new layoffs was a reboot of the classic FPS series, Perfect Dark. The studio that had been working on this new title, The Initiative, will be shut down entirely. The long-awaited new entry in the sci-fi espionage series has been in the works since the studio opened in 2018 and first showed off gameplay footage for title during an Xbox Games Showcase in June 2024. Another notable title getting the axe is Everwild, a long-gestating new IP from Rare, the revered British studio Sea of Thieves, which Microsoft acquired all the way back in 2002. Over the decades, the studio has also produced the original Donkey King Country games for the SNES, the original Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and the Banjo-Kazooie series. According to unnamed sources who spoke to Video Games Chronicle, numerous job cuts and a broader restructuring are expected at Rare, resulting in the game's cancellation. The sources also confirmed reports over the years about Everwild's somewhat turbulent development, claiming that it had "struggled to nail down a clear direction for the title." The game has reportedly been in development for the better part of a decade, being officially announced in 2019, followed by a trailer in 2020. In 2021, reports emerged that development on the game had been "rebooted." The other title reportedly put out to pasture was an untitled new MMORPG from Zenimax Online Studios, the creator of the popular MMO Elder Scrolls Online, which has reportedly reached upwards of 25 million players since launching in 2014. Details about what this title was are sparse, with Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reporting that the game went by the codename "Blackbird" and had been in the works since 2018. Windows Central said in its report about Perfect Dark's cancellation that Blackbird was once intended to act as a successor of sorts to Elder Scrolls Online. According to Variety, all games that were shown off during the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase in June will continue being developed.

Xbox Hit With Layoffs and Game Cancellations as Microsoft Cuts 9,000 Jobs
Major layoffs are rolling across Microsoft today, impacting game developers within Xbox across several studios and the projects they're working on, even as an executive at the company told staff more gamers are playing Xbox than ever before. According to The Seattle Times, 9,000 employees, or 4 percent of Microsoft's workforce, are affected by the cuts, which started Wednesday morning. The full scope of layoffs within Microsoft's gaming divisions are still unknown. 'We continue to implement organizational and workforce changes that are necessary to position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace,' Microsoft spokesperson Emily Pirt told WIRED. The company says that although gaming is impacted, it does not make up the majority of layoffs, and these cuts will affect people in different regions, tenure, and teams. In a message to staff seen by WIRED, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer said Xbox is following 'Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness … I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before.' Employees whose roles are being eliminated are being encouraged to apply for other positions across Microsoft gaming, 'where their applications will be given priority review.' Spencer added that the company will 'protect what is thriving and concentrate effort on areas with the greatest potential, while delivering on the expectations the company has for our business.' Gaming teams across Microsoft are still learning how their roles will be affected, with some sources saying they have staff meetings scheduled later today. Windows Central reports that Perfect Dark developer The Initiative will close as part of the reductions sweeping the company, and its revival of the 2000 first-person shooter game has been canceled. VGC reports that Rare's Everwild , an action-adventure game that's been in development for over a decade, has been canceled, as employees continue to be informed of layoffs across other studios such as ZeniMax and King. Everwild , which was expected to launch with Game Pass for Xbox Series X/S and PC, was a new, original title from Rare. Few details about the game were available, though development had been troubled; in 2021, the project was 'restarted from scratch.' The game was officially announced in 2019 with a brief trailer. In February, during an interview with XboxEra, Spencer cited Everwild as a game release he was looking forward to. 'It's nice to see the team with Everwild and the progress that they're making,' Spencer said at the time. According to Bloomberg , The Elder Scrolls Online developer ZeniMax Online Studios is canceling a new MMORPG project due to the cuts. The outlet also reports layoffs of roughly 200 people at Candy Crush maker King and that layoffs are also taking place at Call of Duty developer Raven Software. Spencer's full message to employees is below:

The outlet also reports layoffs of roughly 200 people at Candy Crush maker King and that layoffs are also taking place at Call of Duty developer Raven Software. Spencer's full message to employees is below: Today we are sharing decisions that will impact colleagues across our organization. To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness. Out of respect for those impacted today, the specifics of today's notifications and any organizational shifts will be shared by your team leaders in the coming days. I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before. Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger. The success we're seeing currently is based on tough decisions we've made previously. We must make choices now for continued success in future years and a key part of that strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest opportunities. We will protect what is thriving and concentrate effort on areas with the greatest potential, while delivering on the expectations the company has for our business. This focused approach means we can deliver exceptional games and experiences for players for generations to come. Prioritizing our opportunities is essential, but that does not lessen the significance of this moment. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted. These decisions are not a reflection of the talent, creativity, and dedication of the people involved. Our momentum is not accidental—it is the result of years of dedicated effort from our teams. HR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws), including pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement resources to support their transition. Employees whose roles were eliminated are encouraged to explore open positions across Microsoft Gaming, where their applications will be given priority review. Thank you to everyone who has shaped our culture, our products, and our community. We will move forward with deep appreciation and respect for all who have contributed to this journey. Phil
