Summary
Xbox is entering what leadership is calling a major reset, and the big question now is simple: how bad is this going to get?After Ubisoft moved to close studios in Winnipeg and Belgrade with hundreds of jobs expected to be affected, Bungie’s future remains uncertain following Destiny 2’s final major update, and Xbox is reportedly preparing for major layoffs after Microsoft’s fiscal year ends.In this video, I go through Xbox’s massive studio system, from Call of Duty teams like Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Sledgehammer, Raven, Beenox, High Moon, Demonware and more, to Blizzard, Bethesda, Obsidian, Rare, Halo Studios, Turn 10, Playground Games, Undead Labs, Double Fine, Ninja Theory, ZeniMax Online and the rest of the first-party lineup.The question is not just who is safe. It is which studios still fit the new Xbox strategy.
