    Microsoft hands Halo to Activision, demotes Halo Studios to a support team amid 268 layoffs

    Microsoft has placed the Halo series under Activision, with a new purpose-built team separate from Call of Duty development making the next Halo game, while Halo Studios becomes a small team supporting existing Halo games. The company is laying off 268 people across Halo Studios, other first-party studios and the XGS management and central functions layer, and it is not yet clear who is affected. The move follows July's announcement of 1,600 job cuts, part of plans to reduce the workforce by 3,200 over the financial year.

    Microsoft restructures Xbox: next mainline Halo moves to Activision as Halo Studios cuts 268 roles

    Microsoft has handed the next mainline Halo game to Activision, which is forming a new purpose-built team separate from Call of Duty, while Halo Studios keeps only a small team supporting existing games and the community. Xbox Studios boss Matt Booty said 268 roles are being eliminated across Halo Studios, other first-party studios, and the XGS management and central functions layer. Activision president Rob Kostich said Halo, Rare, and World's Edge are joining Activision, as Ninja Theory closes and studios including Obsidian and Rare are consolidated under others.

    Why this: Microsoft is handing mainline Halo to a new Activision team while cutting 268 roles at Halo Studios, showing the scope of this Xbox restructuring round.
