Another wave of “substantial” layoffs is expected to hit Microsoft’s gaming division next week, according to a new report from Bloomberg, following earlier reporting from The Verge.

New reports indicate that Microsoft's planned layoffs of its Xbox games division may drastically affect its teams and entire development studios may close.

Microsoft plans another round of layoffs in its Xbox division next week, as part of a broader restructuring, says Bloomberg. This follows multiple cuts in the past 18 months, driven by scrutiny after the Activision Blizzard acquisition and aimed at improving profitability.
