Report: Xbox Set For Major Job Cuts, Studio Closure Or 'Lineup Changes' Could Be Inv
The news we didn't want to hear.Last night, Jason Schreier over at Bloomberg published a report that outlined plans for more Xbox layoffs in the near future, said to be of the "major" kind and taking place in July 2026.The report says that the "exact scale" of the layoffs isn't clear yet, but they're expected "shortly after the close of Microsoft’s fiscal year on June 30". We'll obviously keep an eye out for that news and let you know about it ASAP.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Major Nelson Reveals He's Working With Xbox Again As 'Host' For FanFest 2026
Asha Sharma brings back the beloved Xbox veteran.Back in July of 2023, Major Nelson (real name Larry Hryb) announced his departure from Xbox and Microsoft after 20 years, and it marked a sad moment for the community that had loved his work throughout the history of the brand.Of course, a lot of that work was behind-the-scenes — he was the Principal Program Manager at Xbox for nine years, helping to build the Xbox Live and achievement systems amongst other things, and then spent the next 11 years as Senior Director of Corporate Communications. However, Major Nelson also played a key role in highlighting the likes of Games with Gold, Xbox Live Arcade and various Xbox first-party releases in video form, and was always a beloved ever-present figure when it came to Xbox's marketing campaigns.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma "Doesn't Believe" GenAI World Models Will Replace AAA Games
"I've really come to appreciate the depth and the complexity of art".Xbox boss Asha Sharma has been speaking to Fortune about the wider industry and the future of gaming hardware, and it should come as no great shock to learn that AI came up as a topic at one point.Sharma's previous role was President of Microsoft's CoreAI product, so you'd imagine she'd be quite bullish about the impact of the highly controversial technology – but, as she has proven in the past, she's keen to see it applied in ways that make sense for players.Read the full article on purexbox.com

"It's Hard To Say" - Xbox Boss Isn't Sure The Activision Blizzard Deal Has Paid Off
"It was bought at a time when our strategy was predominantly on the core consoles".Remember when Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion, and everyone assumed that Xbox would become the dominant force on the back of franchises like Call of Duty?It hasn't quite played out like that; since the merger was done, Xbox hardware sales have slumped. Microsoft has also made multiple rounds of layoffs across its business, including Xbox Game Studios. Thousands of roles have been lost, and several studios have been closed down.Read the full article on purexbox.com

Opinion: 2010 World Cup South Africa Might Be The Best FIFA Game Of All Time
An incredible game from the Xbox 360 era.The late 2000s and early 2010s were an extremely important time for EA Sports' FIFA series, which had spent much of the past decade losing out in the gameplay department to Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer. With the arrival of the likes of FIFA 08 and FIFA 09, however, the development team began to craft the perfect formula both on and off the pitch, taking the series to new heights while also introducing new features such as Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team that would become literal game-changers for not only FIFA, but EA Sports as a whole.The team behind the FIFA franchise was riding a massive high going into 2010, and with the South Africa World Cup taking place that summer, EA Sports delivered a dedicated Xbox 360 game to celebrate the tournament. I've personally been playing FIFA games since all the way back to FIFA 95, and I think 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa might just be my favourite of all time. Yes, it was really that good!Read the full article on purexbox.com
