· 3 pulledWe 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.
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.
This message was just sent to Team XBOX employees globally.
