Microsoft’s announced job cuts will extend to its video game business, including the developers of Xbox games such as "Halo Infinite" and the upcoming "Starfield," Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reports. Some people at Bethesda Game Studios, which is developing "Starfield" and is known for "Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout," as well as "Halo" developer 343 Industries, were affected in the mass layoffs, which affected approximately 10,000 staff overall, the author says, citing people familiar with the matter. Some of the people in the game studios who lost employment were veterans who had been with Xbox for over a decade, the author notes. Reference Link
