@Zalker87 I can't wait for the DLC

I know there's going to be a lot of negativity surrounding gaming for a while. Especially this week. But I wanted to just say how hyped I am for Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations. DLC looks INSANE with how big it is and how different it seems to be.

@AshenOne_VI Lol walking sim trach

WE ARE SO BACK!! 😭🔥 Ninja Theory isn’t closing! Instead, they’re leaving Xbox and will be owned by a new company, with Senua funded by the new owner. I’m SO happy this incredible studio gets to keep making games. I seriously can’t wait to see who ends up owning them!

@FonzGaming Lol, it's crazy 🤪 they are hungry for clicks

Polygon at it again... The absolute desperation for clicks is hilarious. *DO NOT CLICK* btw 😂

@Rog_X_Ally @Gaming_Forte @asha_shar Exactly, but I think that the studio head didn't stay after the buyout

@DannyPassion7 @Gaming_Forte @asha_shar Yep,i was disappointed also.... They have the pedigree to do top notch action games. Look ar DMC,enslaved odyssey,Heavenly Sword. Glad they havnt been closed🙏

This is an important email I sent today to all employees at XBOX: Team, We are beginning the most significant restructure in XBOX history. After careful consideration, I've made the difficult decision to reduce our team by approximately 3,200 throughout FY27. This will include approximately 1,600 role eliminations today, and in addition, four studios will leave XBOX to new management. I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges. Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day, and I wanted to be direct about the scale. I know this is painful. These changes will directly affect people who have poured their creativity into building XBOX. Many joined us through acquisitions, while others were recruited here, or sought us out because they loved this industry and loved XBOX. Today's decisions do not reflect their talent or dedication. Our business today is not healthy. We are operating at margins that are 3–10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses. We entered Gen 9 with a smaller install base and a higher cost structure. To grow, we bet on Game Pass, multi-platform, and a broader portfolio of content. While those businesses have created meaningful value, they did not grow at the pace we expected. As that happened, our core business weakened, and we added more teams, more investment, and more time, hoping for a better outcome. And now the industry is facing the most severe hardware crisis in its history. We must reset XBOX. First, we will reset our content portfolio. Since 2018, we have aggressively expanded our studio portfolio while the number of games created each month across the industry now outpaces the last ten years combined. We now find ourselves competing not only with the largest publishers, but also with smaller independent studios. It is neither possible nor desirable to own every great independent studio. We have also learned that we are not the best home for every type of studio; in a typical year, we lost 64 cents for every dollar we invested. As we reset XBOX, we will help independent creators succeed by providing open development tools and audiences to realize their vision. Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new ownership with funding to complete and grow Senua and State of Decay 3. In France, Arkane’s management is beginning required consultation with its Works Council to review potential strategic options. We are also making reductions across other units, and in some cases, shifting investment to focus on higher priority projects. These changes vary in size across Activision, Bethesda/ZeniMax, Blizzard, King, Mojang, and XBOX Game Studios. None of our first party publicly announced games or projects are being cancelled as part of these reductions. In addition, Mojang and King will now report directly to me. These two studios have increasingly become platforms and are our largest by monthly active players. They bring critical geographic, demographic, and differentiation to XBOX. Second, we will reset our platform. We know that great technology gets better when it gets simpler, not bigger. Today, in some parts of the company, work passes through as many as 14 layers of management. Our platform teams are 40% larger than they were at the start of this generation, even as our player base and playtime have declined. That complexity has slowed decisions, blurred accountability, and made it harder to deliver for players. As we reset XBOX, we will simplify. We will reduce management layers to no more than 5, and where possible, 3. We will deliver success through a flatter organization that is built around makers (individual contributors focused on building), player-coaches (leaders who remain deeply involved in the work while developing their teams), and directly responsible individuals (DRIs) who own key decisions and outcomes. And we will streamline how we work across our tools, with a cleaner code base, shared services, and 50% reduced vendor spend. Third, we are resetting how we operate. As XBOX grew our headcount, we became more fragmented. Teams, studios, and functions often operate independently, and it became harder to work towards a shared goal, make the right tradeoffs, and get things done. For the first time, we are establishing a Chief Operating Officer with end-to-end P&L responsibility across content, hardware, platform, and services. Helen Chiang has been promoted to this role and will report directly to me. Over nearly two decades at XBOX, Helen has helped build some of our most important businesses, from XBOX Live to leading Mojang and the Minecraft franchise. She will bring our businesses together under one operating model, making sure we make clear investment decisions, learn from our successes and failures, and hold ourselves accountable for results. Thank you, Dave McCarthy, who is retiring after 17 years with XBOX. Dave has played a defining role in building the platform that millions of players rely on every day and has been a trusted partner through many of the biggest moments in XBOX's history. We wish him all the best. These changes are about a bigger future for XBOX, not a smaller one. The next decade of gaming will be larger, more global, and more creative than anything we've seen before. This year, we'll invest as much in XBOX as we ever have, but we'll invest with greater focus, greater discipline, and greater clarity, all in service of making XBOX where the world plays and creates. I want XBOX to be one of the few companies that entertains more than a billion people each day and gives everyone the opportunity to create and connect. I know we can achieve this goal. XBOX has many of the most beloved franchises in entertainment history, talented studios around the world, and we will return to growth in 2027. History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them. Asha

@punishedcris @SynthPotato @asha_shar If they are relevant and true creative they will continue somewhere else or make their own sht

@SynthPotato @asha_shar ??? 4.800 people are losing their jobs in a single day

@Rog_X_Ally @Gaming_Forte @asha_shar I was expecting hellblade 2 to be a true game, not a walking Sim. After waiting for si many years.

@Gaming_Forte @asha_shar I was expecting worse....

@epictreasure1 @asha_shar Hi epic, good thinking 🤔

@DannyPassion7 @asha_shar I wonder how many managers in that chain of command were doing nothing and being paid

@asha_shar @epictreasure1 This give me hope, probably I will get back to playing on xbox. Sadly people will lose their job but if those who lose their job are relevant and true creative they won't stay without a job for long. Make xbox awesome again

@Gaming_Forte @asha_shar I wish the rhe hest, they had a chance to rival god of war abd they wasted on making a movie walking sim. Love ya forte

@asha_shar Still praying for Ninja Theory future under new management

@RevBobTheJunkie @IOInteractive Sells happens because of bond name not because the game is ground breaking I played the game all the way through, they better get to the real bond soon or the next game will be a short sale

@IOInteractive You wouldn't have had this problem if you had made a good Bond game that sold enough to pay the bills. Sucks to suck, if you get a second chance, make a game people want.

Dear gaming community, For a good while, it has been all positive news from IO Interactive. We remain humbled and honored by the response to our latest outing with a young, unproven Bond. A bold new story and a take on one of the most famous characters in entertainment, which the world has embraced with love. However, today we have to share some more downbeat news. A relationship with an external partner on our own IP, Project Fantasy, has come to an end. This means we have to adapt to this new reality and its short-term consequences, including staffing decisions, which is what is happening as we write this update, and we are fully committed to supporting those affected through this challenging transition. Project Fantasy is a game, a world, and an IP that we absolutely love and remain 100% committed to, now and in the future. This wonderful universe will see the light of day.
