Menneen muutaman vuoden aikana Microsoft on tasaisesti kasvattanut yksinoikeusstudioidensa lukumäärää. Nyt Gaming Bolt tietää kertoa Xbox Game Studiosin pomo Matt Bootyn sanoneen, että painopiste on nyt siirtynyt studioiden ostamisesta sen varmistamiseen, että hankitut studiot tuottavat hyviä yksinoikeuspelejä.
"Recently we've been shifting our focus inside Xbox Game Studios from acquisition and growth, to a phase of execution and delivery. Recently we got all 15 of our studio heads together in New York City. They came together in a meeting and it was a really humbling and inspiring experience for me, to be with these 15 creative leaders that represent over 300 years of experience with game design and production. From Brian Fargo at InXile, to Bonnie Ross who runs Halo, to Tim Schafer at Double Fine, to Helen Chang who runs Minecraft... seeing these leaders come together to share ideas and expertise really gives me confidence going forward in what we're doing."
Tulossa ovat ainakin Everwild, Halo Infinite, Age of Empires IV ja Fable 4.
