Microsoft will lay off 1,900 employees from its Xbox console subsidiary and Activision Blizzard, several American media said on Thursday, barely more than three months following finalizing the acquisition of the video game publisher.
In a message posted on
“An incredibly difficult day”
“This is an incredibly difficult day,” the manager wrote, indicating that Thursday was his “last day” within the company, which has 22,000 people assigned to video games, consoles or software.
Microsoft had to wait more than 20 months before finalizing the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, for $69 billion, due to regulatory obstacles, which were finally removed.
Phil Spencer in an internal letter
In an internal letter, published by several American media, the head of video games at Microsoft, Phil Spencer, justified the decision by the desire to calibrate the entity “with a sustainable cost structure”.
He noted “duplication” and Microsoft’s intention to prioritize projects that generate potential growth.
Waves throughout the area
These job cuts come at a time when other major players in video games have also recently announced layoffs.
On Monday, Riot Games, publisher of the League of Legends game and a subsidiary of Chinese Tencent, indicated the upcoming reduction of its workforce by around 11%, or 530 jobs.
At the beginning of January, the streaming platform Twitch, an Amazon subsidiary made popular by “gamers”, said it planned to let go of 500 employees, or around a third of the whole.
Already in 2023
Last year, Microsoft, like most technology giants with the notable exception of Apple, had already cut its workforce, with a first wave of 10,000 job cuts, announced in January, followed by another, during the summer.

Germany’s Energy Strategy for Gas-Fired Power Plants and Renewable Energy Transition

High-level talks between the government and the utility sector ended Thursday without agreement on a long-awaited strategy for new gas-fired power plants, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The key question that remains unanswered is whether hydrogen plants should receive start-up financing, or capital expenditures, in addition to support for operating expenses, these people said.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz called a new round of negotiations for Thursday morning, following a previous round earlier this week failed to reach an agreement, increasing pressure on the coalition to reach a solution .
In addition to Finance Minister Christian Lindner and officials from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, high-level representatives from the utility sector, including Uniper and RWE, also participated in the discussions.
The main objective of the negotiations is to promote the construction of new gas-fired power plants, worth several billion euros, to compensate for the growing, but intermittent, renewable energy capacity in Germany.
These plants should be gradually converted into plants producing climate-friendly hydrogen, which is expected to be significantly more expensive than natural gas for a long time.
According to government and industry circles, Economy Minister Robert Habeck and Mr Scholz are largely in agreement and are pushing for a quick decision, while Mr Lindner still has reservations, wanting at most to finance the costs of exploitation.
The plan, estimated to cost 40 billion euros ($43.35 billion), is part of Germany’s efforts to avoid electricity shortages as it gradually abandons coal for the benefit of renewable energy production.
