Game Pass Friends and Family: Over the past few days, a few Xbox fans have noticed that the Friends & Family offer has been advertised on the Xbox app for PC, specifically in the United States and Spain.
Game Pass concerns: Recently, Xbox developer Arkane admitted that launching into Xbox Game Pass is "scary", in part due to the sheer number of people that could be playing their game at launch. For indie publisher Finji, which recently helped launch the amazing Tunic, the sentiment is similar but for a completely different reason.
Layoffs:
Microsoft is cutting more jobs this week, with CEO Satya Nadella confirming 10,000 layoffs during what the executive described as "times of significant change." The job losses reportedly affect people at Xbox and Bethesda, in addition to Microsoft's wider teams at large.
In a memo to staff, Nadella said the 10,000 layoffs--which amount to less than 5% of the company's total workforce of more than 220,000--will take place beginning today, January 18, through the end of its third quarter of fiscal year 2023. According to The New York Times, Microsoft hired more than 75,000 people since 2019 to help meet demand for the growing interest in online services and cloud computing due to the onset of the pandemic.
This is just the latest round of layoffs at Microsoft, as Nadella eliminated around 25,000 jobs between 2014 and 2015 as a result of abandoning the company's Nokia business.
"It's important to note that while we are eliminating roles in some areas, we will continue to hire in key strategic areas. We know this is a challenging time for each person impacted. The senior leadership team and I are committed that as we go through this process, we will do so in the most thoughtful and transparent way possible," Nadella said.
The CEO did not say which departments within Microsoft are affected, but Bloomberg reported that Microsoft's Xbox and Bethesda divisions are affected in some capacity. A spokesperson for Microsoft declined to comment about if the layoffs affected Xbox when approached by GameSpot. Bloomberg's Jason Schrier noted that several employees indicated Halo Infinite developer "343 Industries was hit hard."
Explaining the job cuts, Nadella said they stem from Microsoft's making adjustments to its business in response to the pandemic, looming recession fears, and advancements to AI technology.
