The Outer Worlds Dev Obsidian Is Yet Another Xbox Team at Risk of Closure

Obsidian, the developer of Avowed and The Outer Worlds, is reportedly one of several Xbox Games Studios teams at risk of closure. The RPG specialist is negotiating to avoid shutdown alongside Ninja Theory, Compulsion, Double Fine, and Undead Labs. This situation follows the release of The Outer Worlds 2 last year, which reportedly saw disappointing sales. These five studios are currently fighting for their futures as Xbox implements broader organizational cuts across its development teams.
