Xbox has not shut down Ninja Theory and Compulsion Games, but the cutback program will not stop

In recent weeks, there has been considerable discussion about Xbox's reorganization program, which involves a new hardware strategy and a price cut for Game Pass.

Meanwhile, Microsoft’s gaming division is also working on a cost containment policy that includes layoffs and possible closures of entire development studios. According to reports from Jason Schreier at Bloomberg, the closure of Ninja Theory and Compulsion Games has not yet occurred, contrary to previous speculation.

In the meantime, it should be noted that Microsoft has raised the prices of Xbox consoles again due to the memory crisis.

What will be the next moves for Xbox?

Ninja Theory and Compulsion Games have not yet closed, and layoffs have not yet begun. At the moment, there are still some aspects of this situation that have not been clarified. Layoffs and possible studio closures may happen during the month of July. However, Microsoft is reportedly seeking alternative solutions.

One of the hypotheses involves the possibility for the involved studios to become independent again (but, in this scenario, new investors will be needed). The situation will need to be monitored closely in the coming weeks. It must be clarified that this is a delicate period for Xbox, marked by a deep transformation.

The reduction of expenses remains crucial to ensure the future of the division after Microsoft’s enormous investments. Layoffs and closures may be inevitable. We will see what the company's next moves will be.
