Microsoft is reducing its global workforce by nearly 4%. Gaming is among the departments affected, and as a result, Xbox has abandoned games like Everwild and Perfect Dark.

These changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before,” said Xbox head Phil Spencer in an email to staff.

Microsoft's gaming division is undergoing significant job cuts, affecting hundreds globally, including layoffs at King. Major subsidiaries like Raven Software and 343 Industries are impacted.
