Posted Jul 2, 2025 at 8:01 PM UTC Microsoft's Xbox cuts have hit key areas.
News of Microsoft's major layoffs today keep rolling in, as the company informs around 9,000 employees of the cuts. I've heard from sources that the Xbox user research team has been hit hard, with nearly half the team affected. It's a key team that focuses on ensuring quality across Xbox games, the platform, and developer tools. Even the head of Xbox family and child safety has also been laid off.
