Microsoft has recently addressed mounting speculation regarding the significant layoffs affecting its Xbox division. Following the initial workforce reduction of 1,600 employees, with expectations for that number to double over the next year, various reports surfaced suggesting that widespread approvals of foreign-worker visas were a key factor behind these job cuts.

However, Frank X. Shaw, who leads communications for Microsoft, has publicly challenged these assertions. In a statement made via a Twitter post, Shaw refuted what he described as “bad information,” explicitly denying that foreign-worker visas were the cause of the company’s decision to downsize its team. This information is based on reporting from GameSpot – All News.
