Xbox plans to cut more jobs after multiple studio closures, new report suggests

After Xbox closed down four studios on May 7, new reports suggest Microsoft’s cuts are far from over. Jason Schreier and Tom Warren, two popular industry journalists, are reporting the company has offered Zenimax employees “voluntary buyouts” as a cost-cutting measure.

Microsoft decided to cut down on Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios.
