Sepreth(@Sepreth):Xbox is reportedly going to miss the 3,200 layoff target. Microsoft said “approximately” 3,200 gaming jobs through FY27 last July. Windows Central’s Jez Corden says sources now expect the total to fall short. They’re moving people into other departments and spinning studios out instead. Double Fine and Compulsion are independent again. Undead Labs is going to another publisher. Two deals for Ninja Theory fell through. Consultation on a closure has started. Matt Booty this week: 268 more cuts, and they’re “roughly three-quarters of the way through.” Nobody’s saying by how much the 3,200 misses.
