AI Summary

Xbox’s ongoing reorganisation has moved Obsidian Entertainment into Bethesda’s umbrella. The shift follows Xbox’s “reset,” which began earlier this year with 1,600 layoffs and the departure of five first‑party studios. This week, an additional 268 roles were cut across the division, prompting several studios to shift between Microsoft’s gaming units. Halo, Rare (Sea of Thieves) and World’s Edge (Age of Empires) are now under Activision, while Obsidian remains under Bethesda. Bethesda’s president has stated that Obsidian will retain its “creative identity” despite the corporate changes.
