India, Sept. 22 -- Xbox is preparing to lay off hundreds of employees and consolidate multiple game development studios this week. This restructuring marks the second major wave of redundancies in 2026 under new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. It follows a massive "business reset" in July 2026 that eliminated 1,600 jobs and cut ties with five internal studios. According to an exclusive report by The Information, these changes are part of a broader pledge to eliminate 3,200 roles by the end of the 2027 fiscal year.
