Microsoft is spinning off four of its Xbox game studios — Compulsion Games, Double Fine Productions, Ninja Theory, and Undead Labs — as part of the restructuring announced today. However, two that are going independent, Double Fine and Compulsion, will get to keep their franchises and games catalogs, according to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma.
“Compulsion Games and Double Fine Productions will return to management and transition to independent studios with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games,” Sharma says in a memo.
Compulsion and Double Fine have also shared statements about their futures.
