Missing figures stay unavailable. Forward P/E requires a dated source. Annual revenue, revenue growth, net income and margin come from each company's own 10-K, in US dollars, and each row shows that fiscal year. Revenue growth compares the fiscal year with the prior year stated in the same 10-K. Net income is the full year amount attributable to the company, or available to common stockholders where the filing states only that, or consolidated net income. Each row names its basis. Trailing P/E reads "Not meaningful" when the dated trailing diluted EPS is a loss or zero. An operating margin appears only when the filing states both the operating income and the revenue for the same year.

Sources: SEC filings, Gloria daily closes and CoinGecko. Oldest record refresh: Oct 27, 2026, 9:36 PM EDT. Refresh is not a price or filing date. Each row shows its price date and its annual fiscal period. Peers use industry code and company size, or editorial selection. Market cap multiplies that row price by the company share total the latest SEC filing states for every share class together. Trailing P/E divides it by trailing diluted earnings from SEC filings. Rolled earnings per share are approximate because share counts can change between periods. Both appear only when the SEC data carries its date, so they are estimates at one price date, not synchronized filing valuations. Not investment advice.

Quoted token and share units can have different rights, multipliers and dividend treatment. This is not an executable premium or arbitrage signal.

Microsoft’s Xbox division is eliminating roughly 3,200 positions and either selling or spinning off five game development studios, marking one of the largest restructuring efforts the gaming industry has seen in recent memory. The cuts span Xbox, sales, and consulting roles, and the affected studios include Ninja Theory, Double Fine, Compulsion Games, Undead Labs, and Arkane Lyon.

The moves began executing around July 6, coinciding with the start of Microsoft’s new fiscal year.

What’s actually happening

The five studios on the chopping block aren’t necessarily shutting down entirely. Reports indicate that some are entering negotiations for spin-offs rather than facing outright closure, which means there’s a window where these teams could find new homes or operate independently.

At Ninja Theory, approximately 135 jobs are at risk. Double Fine could lose around 100 positions. Compulsion Games faces the loss of close to 90 roles.

The restructuring also claims a notable leadership casualty. Craig Duncan, who headed Xbox Game Studios, has departed the company.

The Activision Blizzard shadow

All of this needs to be understood in one context: the $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Microsoft’s gaming division has been under sustained pressure to demonstrate that the Activision Blizzard purchase was worth the staggering price tag. The acquisition brought in Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush, and a stable of franchises that generate billions in annual revenue.

Previous rounds of layoffs and leadership changes have already rippled through Xbox throughout 2026. The latest cuts represent a continuation of that pattern, not a sudden pivot.

What this means for investors and the gaming market

For the broader gaming industry, if any of the five studios successfully spin off into independent operations, they’d enter the market as experienced teams with established IP relationships and proven track records.

The gaming sector has now seen multiple waves of major layoffs across 2025 and 2026, and the pattern suggests that the post-pandemic hiring boom created structural overcapacity that the industry is still working to correct.
