they only get to choose whether they change with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coleman said the layoffs fell mostly within Microsoft\u2019s commercial business and Xbox.<\/p>\n<p>She said the eliminated roles were \u201cnot being replaced by AI,\u201d but acknowledged that automation is reshaping how work is done across the company.<\/p>\n<p>On the commercial side, she said the cuts would build on Microsoft\u2019s $2.5 billion push, announced last week, to embed 6,000 engineers inside enterprise clients to accelerate AI adoption by often reluctant customers.<\/p>\n<p>At Xbox, CEO Asha Sharma told employees in a separate memo that 1,600 positions were being cut immediately, with the rest to follow through fiscal year 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Xbox has been through successive rounds of cuts since Microsoft\u2019s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard closed in 2024 after a long review process by regulators over competition concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Sharma described Xbox\u2019s business as \u201cnot healthy,\u201d with profit margins \u201c3-10 times lower\u201d than rivals.<\/p>\n<p>She succeeded longtime Xbox chief Phil Spencer, who retired in February, and has pledged to return the division to growth by 2027.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistory is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability,\u201d she wrote. \u201cWe will not be one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Four studios will leave Xbox as part of the restructuring.<\/p>\n<p>Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will become independent, retaining their intellectual property and game catalogs.<\/p>\n<p>Ninja Theory and Undead Labs have entered terms to join new owners with funding to continue their current projects.<\/p>\n<p>In France, Arkane\u2019s management is beginning a required consultation with its Works Council to review what Sharma called \u201cpotential strategic options\u201d \u2014 a process that could result in further closures or a sale.<\/p>\n<p>arp\/mlm<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
