Reportedly, Tom Warren of The Verge’s sources indicated substantial layoffs are imminent in the Microsoft Gaming division and Turn 10 Studios, renowned for creating the popular Forza Motorsport series, who seem to be preparing for reductions in staff.
According to a tweet from George Broussard, founder and industry veteran at 3D Realms, he indicated that multiple studios could potentially close down. If these layoffs occur, it’s estimated that they may affect between 1000 and 2000 individuals, which equates to roughly 10-20

It’s anticipated that the number of affected individuals could range between 1000 to 2000 people, given that Xbox currently employs approximately 10,000.
