TL;DR

Craig Duncan is stepping down as head of Xbox Game Studios, with his teams reporting to Microsoft gaming chief Matt Booty until a replacement is named. The move comes as Xbox faces a public memo describing a 'reset' after revenue declines and signals another wave of layoffs after previous rounds totaling thousands. Nadella said the company must balance hardware innovation with a sustainable, economically viable games business, following earlier cuts in 2024 and 2025 that affected Xbox and related studios.
