Xbox

Microsoft's Xbox division is going through another wave of dramatic restructuring, continuing what has been described as an ongoing "reset" of the gaming business. The reorganization involves significant internal shuffling, and critics have compared the moves to rearranging deck chairs. The news is fueling ongoing debate about the direction of Xbox and the future of its gaming strategy.

A new column argues that the Halo franchise is continuing to decline while Microsoft's Xbox division presses ahead with its sweeping job cuts and corporate 'reset'. The piece ties the studio's struggles and the franchise's uneven recent output to repeated layoffs and reorganisations across Xbox, suggesting the restructuring is taking a toll on one of gaming's flagship series.
