The crisis for Microsoft seems to have no end: according to what was reported by Bloomberg, following the scandalous closure of Tango GameworksXbox will close other more or less relevant studios.
According to numerous sources, new internal emails have been sent out in recent hours that “encourage” the closure of new studios: the firm’s management would want this Zenimax. This desire would be due to a long-term plan by Microsoft: develop a few games with guaranteed success (like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls).
These internal decisions have sparked doubts among experts and enthusiasts especially regarding the sustainability of a business of this type: it will be interesting to understand how the Game Pass project will evolve in light of these operations.
The crisis situation that the small companies within Xbox and Bethesda are experiencing reflects what is happening in the entire industry: projects like that of Game Pass really risk hinder sales and sustenance of non-mainstream projects? We only know that it will now be necessary to make new considerations.
As we saw in a recent analysis, the great success of Hi-Fi Rush, available on Game Pass since launch, has not turned into a sales success “enough” to keep the production studio alive: that a similar fate could affect other titles?
