Microsoft is closing the Redmond-based development studio that made team sports games for its Xbox video-game console, eliminating 76 jobs in the process.
The internal unit, part of the broader Microsoft Game Studios, made football, basketball and hockey games for the Xbox under Microsoft's XSN Sports brand. The affected employees, who were notified of the decision earlier this week, will be helped to find other available Microsoft jobs, the company said.
