The End of Destiny 2: Widespread Bungie Layoffs & The Xbox Bloodbath - Tower Casuals Episode 267

The team at Bungie, the studios at Xbox, and the video game industry continue to face one of its biggest turning points ever. In this episode of Tower Casuals, Josh Finney and Corey Dirrig break down the major changes affecting both Bungie and the ongoing changes at Xbox. After Destiny 2 received its final planned service updates, Bungie announced nearly 300 layoffs, leaving Marathon as the studio’s primary focus under Sony. At the same time, Microsoft is undergoing major restructuring under new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. Reports suggest several well-known Xbox studios, including Ninja Theory and Double Fine, could face closure while Microsoft also introduces a $150 price increase for Xbox consoles. Josh and Corey discuss what led to these decisions, how Xbox Game Pass fits into Microsoft’s long-term strategy, and what this wave of layoffs and restructuring could mean for the future of the gaming industry.
