Xbox-backed Compulsion Games begins hiring for a mysterious new IP

The Xbox-owned studio Compulsion Games, developer of South of Midnight, is expanding its team for an all-new, unnamed IP. The studio posted permanent and fixed-term roles (Lead Gameplay Programmer, Engine Programmer, Senior Level Designer, Senior Character Artist) on LinkedIn, signaling work on a fresh original project under Xbox Game Studios. Compened by Microsoft in 2018, Compulsion previously worked on South of Midnight and We Happy Few, and its new project follows a shift toward a new IP under the Xbox umbrella.

OpenAI eyes 8,000-strong workforce by 2026, FT reports

OpenAI plans to nearly double its workforce to about 8,000 by the end of 2026, up from 4,500, with most new hires going to product development, engineering, research and sales. It is also expanding recruitment for “technical ambassadorship” roles to help customers use its tools. The Financial Times report, citing two people familiar with the matter, notes a valuation around $840 billion and mentions a December internal “code red” to pause non-core projects to speed development in response to Google’s Gemini 3; Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The funding round also included SoftBank participation.

January Layoffs Hit 14-Year High as Hiring Slump Deepens, Challenger Finds

U.S. employers announced 108,435 layoffs in January 2026, the highest January total since 2009, while just 5,306 new hires were announced—the lowest January since Challenger, Gray & Christmas began tracking the data. High-profile cuts at Amazon, UPS and Dow Inc. contributed to a surge in layoff activity, with transportation leading and tech following Amazon’s 16,000-reductions. Hiring plans fell about 13% from January 2025 and were down 49% from December, signaling a cautious outlook for 2026 despite headlines of a no-hire, no-fire labor market. Official data show mixed signals, including a spike in jobless claims likely weather-related, and WARN notices from over 100 companies indicate ongoing layoff planning.
