Microsoft ‘tried the most cursed to replace work with AI agent’, according to a developer

Very high tension among Xbox developers after the latest Microsoft layoffs, which seems to have eliminated hundreds of jobs in all game divisions. The perfect dark initiative and reboot is no longer available; MMORPG Zenimax Online, Project Blackbird, Canceled, and Founder of Studio Gone; The new IP Rare, Everwild, was also canceled, and Veterans Gregg Mayles also left; And Turn 10 also saw that most of his employees were fired.

But that didn’t stop there. Engadget has reported that five employees were also cut from Halo Studios. In addition, the report did not describe a beneficial picture of the entire Microsoft plan to play games and the progress of the Halo project in the future.

The anonymous source that is understood states the insult of Microsoft Gaming CEO internal memo Gaming Phil Spencer, which was started by the executive with a reminder that Xbox registered the record number when it came to users, games, and game hours.

I personally am very annoyed that Phil’s email to us brag about how this is the most profitable year for Xbox in the same breath as withdrawing the lever. I’m not sure which part I should be proud of.

The source also said that Halo Studios now worked with studios that were contracted throughout the United States and Europe, which they did not like.

Xbox is generally felt for many years behind the curve in game development, and it leads to a lot of time and wasted effort.

Kicker came when they shared the impression that Microsoft was trying to replace as many human work as possible.

They tried the most cursed to replace as many work as possible with AI agents.

It’s no secret that Microsoft has invested a lot in AI, and this possibility has been feared for years. Is that the problem still to be seen, but that is of course a worrying report.

Finally, anonymous sources are not sure that one of the current Halo projects at work will meet the expected quality standards:

I don’t think there are people who are very happy with the quality of the current products. There are many tensions and conversations that try to raise people to be sent.

Only two days ago, Halo Studios tempted disclosure for their next project who came to the Halowc 2025 event, which will take place in October. No need to say, they are unable to make mistakes again after Halo Infinite, otherwise they might find themselves in the same position as Turn 10 – or even initiative – after the next Microsoft review.
