Microsoft is preparing for the next abbreviation of the big abbreviations in its game unit. It was reported by Bloomberg related to sources familiar to this situation.
According to journalist Bloomberg Jason Schreyer, the restructuring will affect a significant number of Xbox units and will start next week – from June 30 to July 6.
There is no official opinion from Microsoft in this situation. The upcoming dismissal will become the fourth largest wave in the direction of the company's game in the past 18 months. Earlier, Microsoft organized three rounds of state optimization and closed a number of internal studios, including Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
In the context of completing Activision Blizzard trading worth $ 69 billion, the Group's management has increased the requirements of the efficiency and profit of the game unit. As part of the current restructuring, the ability to close new internal game studios is not excluded, but the final decisions on this issue are not known.
