Microsoft’s layoffs have also impacted roles internationally, where an AI operations manager in Portugal proved susceptible to Microsoft’s latest reductions. Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 Studios was also hit hard by Microsoft’s cuts. Raven, Sledgehammer Games, Rare, ZeniMax Online Studios, Halo Studios, and King have all been impacted by the Xbox cuts. Laid off King staff are reportedly being replaced by the AI tools they helped build. The Xbox cuts have impacted community managers, designers, and branding experts, too.
