id Software, the legendary studio behind Doom and Quake, has strongly refuted claims that it has been “nerfed into the ground and gutted” following recent Xbox layoffs. Director Hugo Martin has stepped forward to assure fans and stakeholders that the studio’s core operations and creative vision remain intact, dispelling widespread speculation that the cuts have severely impacted the development of future projects. While acknowledging the unfortunate reality of layoffs within the broader Microsoft gaming division, Martin emphasized that id Software’s fundamental capabilities and its commitment to delivering the high-octane action experiences its fans expect have not been compromised. The studio continues its work with its established teams and resources, focusing on pushing the boundaries of its iconic franchises.
