It's being reported that multiple Call of Duty studios under Activision have been hit with job cuts as part of Microsoft's latest wave of layoffs.

Microsoft has laid off more than 9,000 employees, impacting Xbox and its studios, with Call of Duty developers reportedly affected.

Moreover, Turn 10 Studios, the team behind Forza Motorsport, was hit with layoffs affecting nearly half of its staff. This is significant not just because Forza has long been one of Xbox’s most stable and successful franchises, but also because the latest title was a reboot released in late 2023.
