Recently, according to relevant media reports, Microsoft's gaming division Xbox has decided to close four game studios, including the famous Arkane Austin and Tango Games.
The reporter noticed that the several studios that were closed this time all have relatively famous game works, such as Arkane Austin, who represented the "Predation" and "Shame" series. The studio developed "Hongxia Island" after being acquired by Microsoft. The representative works of Tango Games Studio are "Possession of Evil Spirits" and "Ghost Line: Tokyo". After being acquired by Microsoft, they developed "Hi Fi Rush".
Regarding the major adjustment of the gaming business, Xbox department executive Matt Booty stated in an internal email that this is a "priority adjustment of games and resources.". He said, "The basis of this decision is to prioritize investing resources in games with high influence, and further invest in Bethesda's flagship games and the virtual world that everyone has worked hard to build for decades. In order to strengthen investment in these important projects, we need to reorganize some resources and teams, so some colleagues will leave us."
