Xbox受裁员影响：游戏取消与工作室关闭
摘要
微软于7月2日宣布裁员，影响了公司Xbox部门的员工。
7月2日，微软宣布裁员，涉及多达9,000名员工，这对公司的Xbox工作室产生了影响。微软取消了The Initiative工作室开发的《完美黑暗》（Perfect Dark）项目，并关闭了该工作室。Rare工作室于2019年宣布的《永野》（Everwild）也被取消。此外，《极限竞速：地平线》开发商Turn 10工作室将失去70多名员工。
微软游戏业务CEO菲尔·斯宾塞（Phil Spencer）在给员工的备忘录中表示：“我们必须现在做出选择，以确保未来多年的持续成功，而这一战略的关键部分是有纪律地优先考虑最有潜力的机会。我们将保护正在蓬勃发展的业务，集中精力在最具潜力的领域，同时满足公司对我们业务的期望。这种聚焦的方法意味着我们能够为玩家带来世代相传的游戏和体验。”
此前有传言称斯宾塞计划在微软推出下一代Xbox后退休，但公司向The Verge表示，斯宾塞不会“很快”辞去Xbox主管一职。
