Phil Spencer responded to the statement, which was mainly in response to a recent Bloomberg News report that Microsoft's recent layoff plan also affected the 343 Industries game studio responsible for creating the "Halo" series.
Although 343 Industries later issued an urgent statement, stating that it would continue to develop the Halo series in the future, it is clear that many players are still worried about this. Phil Spencer's public statement this time is intended to further alleviate market concerns.
According to Phil Spencer, the "Halo" series is still a very important development project for Xbox, so through this layoff adjustment, the development positioning of 343 Industries game studio will be clearer.
However, Phil Spencer did not elaborate on whether the previous promise to keep "Halo Infinite" playable for at least 10 years was affected by the layoff plan, but stressed that as long as the Xbox game console continues to develop, the "Halo" series will continue to be updated.
