Microsoft ( MSFT ) has begun implementing job cuts at its Xbox gaming division, which staff had been expecting for the past week, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.

The company's Barcelona-based King division is reducing its workforce by 10%, or around 200 jobs, and other European offices have also begun informing staff about the layoffs, the report said.

US units are expected to be informed later Wednesday on how many jobs will be cut, the report said.

"We continue to implement organizational and workforce changes that are necessary to position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace," a Microsoft ( MSFT ) spokesperson said in an emailed statement to MT Newswires.
