The wide-ranging Xbox layoffs this week also affected Halo Studios, the development team formerly known as 343 Industries that is working on multiple upcoming Halo titles.
Engadget reported that at least five people were let go from the team, with between 200 and 300 people remaining at the company going forward. One anonymous developer told the site that they were upset with how Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer spoke about the health and prosperity of the Xbox business in the same memo announcing the dramatic cuts.
“I wasn’t sure what part of that I was supposed to be proud about,” this person said.
