Halo Studios Left with Just 20 Employees After Microsoft Layoffs

Microsoft's restructuring of its Xbox gaming business has had a significant impact on Halo Studios. According to unconfirmed reports, the studio's staff has shrunk to approximately 20 people after layoffs.

The development of future Halo series games will now be transferred to Activision's leadership, following Microsoft's acquisition of the company. This move is part of a larger effort to revamp Xbox's gaming strategy and align it with Microsoft's broader business goals.

Professional player aPureGangster claims to have received this information from a 'very reliable source,' which corroborates reports from Windows Central journalist Jez Corden that Halo Studios faced 'massive layoffs' affecting hundreds of employees.
