On May 7, Microsoft closed down four first-party development studios it had acquired from Zenimax Media in 2021 including Tango Gameworks , developer of The Evil Within series and 2023’s surprise hit Hi-Fi Rush . It’s the latest round of layoffs and closures that the gaming industry, and Xbox specifically, has seen in recent months.
The first was 2022’s Pentiment, a murder mystery adventure game set in 16th-century Bavaria developed by Obsidian. It’s a title that director Josh Sawyer had been wanting to make for decades. Similarly, Tango Gameworks developed and surprise-dropped the rhythm action title Hi-Fi Rush in 2023, giving the studio a chance to break away from its horror roots. Both teams credited a specific perk of being an Xbox-owned studio with the ability to bring these unconventional games to life—Game Pass.
