Microsoft confirms that more development studios will be acquired soon
Recently, there has been intense discussion across various specialized media platforms about whether Microsoft has been quiet lately, and this quietness may be a prelude to some significant announcements from the company.
Details revealed by GameIndustry in a lengthy report during an interview with several Microsoft executives, led by Phil Spencer, head of Xbox at Microsoft.
Spencer discussed the company’s relationship with new development studios like Ninja Theory, Obsidian Entertainment, Double Fine, and InXile, stating that they are striving to provide these teams with a peaceful working environment and seamlessly integrate them into their work system. He emphasized the importance of this in order to deliver outstanding titles in the future.
He mentioned that they take the selection of target teams for acquisition very seriously, ensuring that the teams align with the company’s philosophy. When asked about the possibility of stopping further acquisitions, he responded that they aim to enrich the Xbox Game Pass service by adding more exclusive titles.
To achieve this, they need a vast collection of highly powerful games, confirming that the company is not done yet in terms of acquiring additional teams. It is expected that announcements regarding this will be made during the Xbox Game Showcase event on July 23, potentially including a major surprise.
