Microsoft is making big changes to its Xbox gaming business. The company will cut about 4,800 jobs around the world. Many of these job cuts will affect people who work in gaming.
Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard, a very large gaming company. But Xbox still faces strong competition from Sony PlayStation and Nintendo. Now Microsoft wants to focus less on selling game consoles. Instead, it wants to offer subscription services and cloud gaming.
The gaming industry is changing. Companies now compete by offering digital services and online games. Microsoft says these changes are part of a new strategy. Gamers wonder if these changes will make gaming better or different.
