Microsoft's gaming business is facing a significant shake-up, with reports emerging that Double Fine, Ninja Theory, and Compulsion Games are all at risk of being closed or spun off. This move is part of a larger effort by Microsoft to 'reset' its gaming division, which has already seen thousands of staff laid off and several studios closed in recent years.

The potential loss of these studios is a significant blow to the Xbox ecosystem, given their impressive track records and loyal fan bases. Double Fine is known for its work on Psychonauts, while Ninja Theory has developed critically-acclaimed titles like Hellblade. Compulsion Games, meanwhile, has been working on the upcoming South of Midnight.
