Xbox’s once bold vision for the future now feels uncertain as layoffs and major project cancellations shake gamers' confidence.
The extent of the layoffs is unknown, but meetings for the studio's employees are allegedly showing up "on a rolling basis."
Rare's long-delayed title is allegedly "on track," while Undead Labs' next game is reportedly still launching sometime in 2026.
Undead Labs' zombie-slaying survival title was tentatively targeting a 2025 release, but is likely to slip into 2026, it's claimed.
Players can now access the inventories of survivors from the Community screen, and water now reduces vehicle speed, among other changes.
Update 38 will address "longstanding issues" and implement quality-of-life fixes while unlocking time-gated and seasonal content.
The multiplayer shared world zombie survival game recently received a new in-engine trailer, but wasn't given a launch window.
Undead Labs worked with Obsidian Entertainment for the same, with studio head Philip Holt touting more avenues for independent exploration.
A release date still hasn't been announced for the upcoming multiplayer survival game, however.
Undead Labs is also rebranding, featuring a new logo and the studio adopting a "collective identity that transcends zombies."
Undead Labs' 2020-announced sequel will reportedly weave backstories for community members "more viscerally into gameplay."
A former Undead Labs employee has mentioned having worked on "not-yet-release projects" at the studio.
Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty says the first party teams are aware that the expectation going forward will be to showcase gameplay for their titles.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer says Microsoft will "announce some things that people haven’t seen" and "give updates" on previously announced titles.
Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty confirms Undead Labs is "using some of the technology around Unreal 5 and some of the stuff that's been in Gears of War."
"Looking at State of Decay 3, I'm incredibly excited about some of the advancements they're going to make," says the Xbox boss.
The Cascade Hills, Drucker County, and Maegher Valley maps have received significant visual reworks in State of Decay 2's latest update.
Well over 3 years since its release, State of Decay 2 is set to receive multiple content updates in 2022, as revealed in a recent livestream by developer Undead Labs.
