Enligt rapporter fr\u00e5n ok\u00e4nda k\u00e4llor senast veckan har Microsoft p\u00e5b\u00f6rjat en ny rund av avskedande den 2 februari, vilket drabbar cirka 3 procent av dess globala personal med 9 000 jobbavskeding. Detta \u00e4r den fj\u00e4rde ronden av avskedanden inom Xbox under de senaste 18 m\u00e5naderna och sker mot bakgrunden f\u00f6r Microsofts $69 miljarder k\u00f6p av Activision Blizzard i oktober 2023. Den stockholmsbaserade King-divisionen av Microsoft, som \u00e4r k\u00e4nd f\u00f6r Candy Crush, drabbas av en avskedning p\u00e5 10 procent av personalen, vilket motsvarar ungef\u00e4r 200 jobb. Detta inneb\u00e4r att 200 personer kommer att bli arbetss\u00f6kande inom divisionen fr\u00e5n juli. Andra europeiska f\u00f6retag under Xbox-divisionen, som Zenimax, har ocks\u00e5 drabbats, men antalet som avskedats fortfarande \u00e4r ok\u00e4nt. Det g\u00e5r ocks\u00e5 att s\u00e4ga att de amerikanska Xbox-studion blir p\u00e5verkade av avskedandena, men det exakta antalet personer som drabbas \u00e4r \u00e4nnu outkunnat. Fram till idag hade Xbox-divisionen en sammanlagd personalstyrka p\u00e5 20 000 personer.<\/p>\n
Microsoft b\u00f6rjar med en ny rund av avskedanden den 2 februari, som drabbar omkring 3 procent av dess globala personal och inneb\u00e4r 9 000 jobbavskeding. Detta \u00e4r den fj\u00e4rde ronden av avskedanden inom Xbox under de senaste 18 m\u00e5naderna och sker mot bakgrunden f\u00f6r Microsofts $69 miljarder k\u00f6p av Activision Blizzard i oktober 2023. Den stockholmsbaserade King-divisionen av Microsoft, som \u00e4r k\u00e4nd f\u00f6r Candy Crush, drabbas av en avskedning p\u00e5 10 procent av personalen, vilket motsvarar ungef\u00e4r 200 jobb. Jason Schreier rapporterar via Bluesky att de avskedningarna har lett till att f\u00f6retagets nya MMORPG, internamnt k\u00e4nt som ”Blackbird”, ska skjutas upp. Spelet var inte officiellt presenterat f\u00f6r allm\u00e4nheten men utvecklades sedan 2018. \u00c4ven spelet Everwild, fr\u00e5n Rare, som officiellt presenterades i november 2019, ska ha avskedats p\u00e5 grund av dessa avskedanden.<\/p>\n
I en e-post till anst\u00e4llda har Phil Spencer (CEO av spelskiltet inom f\u00f6retaget) sagt att framtiden f\u00f6r Xbox-divisionen inom Microsoft aldrig har varit s\u00e4krare, men att sk\u00e4rningar \u00e4r n\u00f6dv\u00e4ndiga f\u00f6r att garantera f\u00f6retagets framtida framg\u00e5ng. Under 2024 f\u00f6rlorade omkring 11 procent av spelutvecklare deras jobb, som en del av en global period av massavskedningar inom speletbranschen. Detta \u00e4r emellertid motbakgrunden till att Brasilien godk\u00e4nner Video Game Law, ett pionj\u00e4rlag som positivt p\u00e5verkar hela spelskapandekedjan i landet.

Microsofts vinster har haft en stabil upp\u00e5tg\u00e5ende trend, med f\u00f6retaget rapporterande \u00f6ver $25 miljarder i nettoint\u00e4kter i sitt senaste kvartalsrapportering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
