Microsoft Corp.’s gaming division laid off hundreds of employees on Wednesday, part of a broader culling at the software company as it seeks to control costs. An Xbox spokesperson declined to confirm how many people were impacted,

Microsoft is reducing its global workforce by nearly 4%. Gaming is among the departments affected, and as a result, Xbox has abandoned games like Everwild and Perfect Dark.

These changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before,” said Xbox head Phil Spencer in an email to staff.
