Xbox reportedly set to cut 'hundreds' of jobs and consolidate several studios

Microsoft is reportedly planning to cut hundreds more Xbox jobs this week and consolidate several studios, Video Games Chronicle reports.

Eurogamer describes the move as a second wave of cuts to the Xbox division, with multiple outlets saying an announcement is expected imminently.

PushSquare has suggested the restructuring could include shifting responsibilities between Xbox teams, and specifically reported speculation that the Halo series might be moved under Activision, though that claim is presented as suggestion rather than confirmation.

GamesIndustry.biz and Nintendo Life also carried the reporting. Details about which studios or how many roles will be affected were not provided in the initial reports.
