Former Xbox Staff Warn of Retaliation Risk Ahead of Rumored Layoffs

Game Developer · 4d ago

Several former Xbox employees say they faced retaliation after reporting management behavior internally, and they're warning current staff to document everything as the division braces for another round of cuts. The expected layoffs are reportedly tied to Microsoft's fiscal year-end on June 30 and could touch multiple studios, with some reports suggesting a studio closure is possible. The warnings add fresh unease to an Xbox division already dealing with morale issues from earlier cuts this year.
