Insane if true considering many of those 26 studios have multiple teams. Microsoft is becoming undeniable at this point.

1. Bluepoint
2. KojiPro
3. From Software

 

[Mr Moose]

You mean according to Colt Eastwood?

Fantastic news. More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bonfires Down]

In before the meltdowns.

 

[Loope]

Do they really need more studios?
23 should be enough if they have a decent release schedule between each other.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Satya making it rain.

 

[balls of snow]

E3 is back baby

 

[FUBARx89]

It's Thursday.....

SEGA?!

Edit - apparently I'm a day in the past.

 

[JORMBO]

Nintendo, Sony, Sega

 

[GrayChild]

FromSoftware
Capcom
KojiPro

Do it, Phil!

 

[J0K3R]

IO?
Avalanche?
Asobo?
Crytek?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Amazing what gold coffers can do at the corporate level.

What ever happened to the narrative divisions work in silos and have their own balance sheets where they can only afford what their own financials can do?

 

[Zeroing]

Quickly we must join and make a studio so MS can buy it! We will be rich!!!

 

[Mr Moose]

It's wedensday.....

SEGA?!

 

[Eliciel]

Buy them all

 

[jshackles]

They said they're shooting for a new AAA game every quarter. Every studio they acquire can help shorten that gap.

 

[cormack12]

Asobo
Focus Home Interactive and....
Playtonic

I reckon

 

[jshackles]

Sony
Nintendo
SEGA

 

[Chukhopops]

Larian
Firaxis
Creative Assembly (or Sega)

I would basically buy ten years of full price GP.

 

[FUBARx89]

I knowwwww. I changed it my days are all cocked up.

 

[elliot5]

Let's wait until they make any announcements before making such bold claims...

 

[Stuart360]

Rather Microsoft than Google or Amazon. At least the games are staying in gaming, and not some online streaming app.
PC and Xbox. if you want to play.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Can we get some new games from those new studios first before buying more or them?

 

[Bonfires Down]

IO?
Avalanche?
Crytek?

That's the rumor.

 

[Starfield]

Crytek and others. maybe.

 

[Mr Moose]

I knowwwww. I changed it my days are all cocked up.

I had to check to make sure days are just melding together.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

Or probably counted those 3 studios outside XBOX Game Studios that are making games for Microsoft? Like that game IO Interactive is working on!

 

[Elpidio Valdés]

I think Phil probably has some huge dirt on Nadella, I mean he has him by the balls. How the hell he keeps making that man open the war chest is beyond me.

Considering Sony is money hatting things like the next bioshock they need to load up on them studios to avoid content starving and to send a message. Money hat we buy a studio.

 

[AJUMP23]

Cloud Imperium - Star Citizen is now Xbox exclusive.

 

[MachRc]

I honestly listen to RDX sometimes on tuesday while watering my grass. And i like Colt Eastwood.

I almost think he will be/ could be then next Major Nelson figure..

dont hate me

 

[Stuart360]

I wonder what will happen with the Bond game if one of them is IO. Was platforms already announced for that game?

 

[squidilix]

This is how MS ruin the industry

 

[FUBARx89]

Cloud Imperium - Star Citizen is now Xbox exclusive.

Coming on xbox XXX. Only after they've finished fucking the backers.

 

[Stuart360]

Giants like Google and Amazon are in the game now, Tencent , and whoever else mega corps are getting involved with gaming.
Microsft gobbling them up keeps them away, and keeps the games coming to PC and console in Xbox, not some streaming app.

 

[Silent Viper]

IO

Techland

Avalanche

 

[Zeroing]

Sony
Nintendo
SEGA

"My uncle works for Nintendo" and yeah it's true! MS brought them

funny coincidence I also have "another uncle who works for Sony"
And yeah it's also true, MS brought them!

 

[Hezekiah]

Does that mean some of them will produce games before 2023?

 

[oldergamer]

I think you guys should look back to the rumors from last year. Probably a better bet who they could be.

 

[Lionel Richie]

To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Sucker Punch

[ZywyPL]

That Crytec rumor seems more likely now. Wonder what the other two would be?

I can't stand Major Nelson, his voice makes me want to break something. Eastwood on the other hand has that really nice, calm voice, he's a bit too dramatic at times, but I'd love to see him replacing Nelson.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Bout time they start getting cutthroat. You play to win the game. You don't play to just play it.

When you go in for the kill, you don't hold back /s
