Xbox studios Compulsion, Double Fine, and Ninja Theory facing closure, it’s claimed

Microsoft is reportedly closing Ninja Theory, the studio responsible for the Hellblade series, with staff notified during a Monday call. Additionally, other Xbox studios, including Compulsion Games and Double Fine, are facing potential closures. Sources indicate that several of these studios are currently in negotiations to spin off from Microsoft in an effort to avoid being shut down entirely, as they seek potential buyers to maintain their operational existence within the gaming industry.
