News Summary

• Xbox is reportedly gearing up for three more rounds of layoffs.
• The first of these is taking place this month, followed by another in November and one in January 2027.
• This would be the second round in as many months, following September's round which saw the elimination of 268 roles.
• Those layoffs are part of what's considered the second major wave in Xbox's larger plan to cut costs and return the division to profitability.
• One of the biggest remaining question marks, however, is the fate of Gears of War: E-Day studio The Coalition.
