Xbox to lay off 3,200 workers in major restructuring
Microsoft's Xbox division plans to cut 3,200 jobs over the next year as part of a broader restructuring. The layoffs follow the company's $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard and affect roles across gaming teams. This marks one of the largest recent workforce reductions in the gaming industry.

The layoffs underscore the ongoing consolidation in gaming, where even massive acquisitions lead to job cuts rather than growth.
