Summary
Microsoft is cutting approximately 4,800 jobs company-wide, with its Xbox gaming division bearing the largest share — roughly 3,200 positions eliminated through fiscal 2027. The restructuring aims to improve profitability amid economic challenges tied to AI investments that have slowed gaming and consumer computer divisions. The Xbox unit will lose about one-fifth of its workforce, representing the most significant cuts within the company's 2.1% global workforce reduction.
