Microsoft is undergoing a significant restructuring of its Xbox division, which includes thousands of job cuts and the divestiture of five gaming studios. The company's group CEO cited financial unsustainability, stating that Microsoft lost 64 cents for every dollar invested in small to mid-sized studios. This strategic shift follows a period of aggressive acquisition, including Mojang Studios, ZeniMax, and Activision Blizzard, and signals a potential pause in future M&A activity for the gaming giant.
