Xbox’s Second Wave Of Planned Layoffs Is Reportedly Starting As Studios Face Major Restructuring https://ift.tt/atwILDK The second wave of Xbox layoffs could be imminent, as new reports claim that Microsoft is also looking to further restructure its gaming division by consolidating several of its studios. This would tie into previously announced plans by Xbox boss Asha Sharma to cut 3,200 roles from the division, which started with 1,600 mass layoffs in July . According to The Information --which says that a Microsoft source briefed it on the company's plans--the second wave of 1,600 job cuts will start soon. Prolific leaker NateTheHate has also claimed that the Halo franchise is being moved to Activision Blizzard, and similar reorganizations will happen across the division. If true, then 2026 will mark a year of major changes for Xbox. Since Sharma stepped in to run the division, the goal has been to make it more profitable as part of a "reset" initiative that...

Minecraft’s Next Update Could Be Its Biggest In 15 Years, And We’ll Find Out This Weekend

Minecraft’s Next Update Could Be Its Biggest In 15 Years, And We’ll Find Out This Weekend https://ift.tt/rjOl1g7

With the new Minecraft update now live, players have been eagerly looking forward to the next Minecraft Live to learn what comes next for the sandbox game. We now know that the next stream will be this weekend. The Minecraft Live broadcast will begin on September 26, 2026 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT / 7 PM CEST. It hasn't been communicated how long that broadcast will run for, but we have a tiny hint of an idea around what could be coming next.

The Minecraft Live broadcast date was revealed at the end of Tubbo's stream, after the Blue Creeper Battle concluded. This promotional event started on September 17, 2026 in person at the Tokyo Game Show, online through YouTube, and in-game in Bedrock Edition worlds.

The event saw the Illager High Council open rifts to the real world from the Sift--a new dimension being introduced in the upcoming Minecraft Dungeons 2. Soul-corrupted mobs poured in through those rifts to attack, and at TGS that included a huge Blue Creeper. To celebrate, 1 million Corrupted Creeper Cape codes were awarded to participating players, or to those watching via Twitch in the form of Twitch Drops.

The Minecraft Live announcement came at the end of Tubbo's stream.

After a showdown that saw players finally take down the Blue Creeper, a short cinematic played thanking players for taking part. That cinematic teased the Illagers finding a portal to the Sift. While we already know that the Sift is coming to Minecraft Dungeons 2, many are speculating that it could also be coming to the Minecraft base game, marking the first new dimension in Mojang's blocky sandbox since 2011's addition of The End.

If true, the next Minecraft update could be its biggest in 15 years. To find out, tune in to Minecraft Live this Saturday, September 26. You can watch the broadcast on the Minecraft Twitch channel, YouTube, or directly on the Minecraft Live website.
