Microsoft to Shut Down Xbox Operations in Certain European Regions

Microsoft’s about to slice more jobs from its Xbox division next week, also planning to pull the plug on its brand in some European areas. This move includes a mass layoff at Xbox by the end of this month, along with restructuring their distribution business in Central Europe, as they gear up for the next gen Xbox. This recent round of job cuts comes just about a month after Microsoft announced letting go over 6,000 employees, adding to the 300+ who were let go earlier in June. This year, the company’s also shut down game development studios like Tango Gameworks (Ghostwire Tokyo) and Arkane Austin (Redfall).
