About
Microsoft is laying off approximately 1,900 employees from its gaming division, which includes teams at Activision Blizzard, Xbox, and ZeniMax. This reduction, announced in late January 2024, represents about 8% of the Microsoft Gaming workforce, which totals around 22,000 employees. The layoffs are part of a broader strategy to integrate the recently acquired Activision Blizzard and align on a sustainable cost structure, eliminating areas of overlap. In addition to the job cuts, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra has departed, and a planned Blizzard survival game has been canceled.
