Microsoft is facing a new round of layoffs.According to previous rumors, the layoffs could affect up to 2,000 jobs — mainly concentrated in the Xbox department.The latest report further pointed out that Turn 10, the studio that produces the Forza series, may become a hard-hit area.

It is reported that the latest game in the series is far lower than expected in terms of player reputation and sales - although its development cycle is long and expensive.This result has reportedly prompted Microsoft to shift its strategic focus to the Forza Horizon series, which has now become one of Microsoft's most successful gaming series.

Microsoft has not issued a formal statement yet, but insiders revealed that the announcement may be released at any time and does not rule out the risk of the entire studio being closed.There is no doubt that Xbox is about to usher in a period of major change.
