Microsoft could reportedly shut down four Xbox studios if it can’t find buyers for them, according to a new GamesBeat report citing sources familiar with the company’s plans.
The studios named are:
>Double Fine Productions
>Undead Labs (State of Decay)
>Compulsion Games (South of Midnight)
>Ninja Theory (Hellblade)
GamesBeat says Microsoft is exploring the possibility of selling these studios to preserve jobs.
If no buyers are found, the report claims the studios could be closed, putting around 435 jobs at risk:
>Double Fine: about 100 jobs
>Undead Labs: about 110 jobs
>Compulsion Games: about 90 jobs
>Ninja Theory: about 135 jobs
The report also says Microsoft is expected to begin a new round of Xbox layoffs in early July following the end of its fiscal year.
