TL;DR

Compulsion Games and Double Fine announce they will return to independent management after their time with Xbox, retaining ownership of Contrast, We Happy Few, and South of Midnight. This follows Xbox's July 6 layoffs of 3,200 staff and the divestment of five studios, with Ninja Theory and Undead Labs in acquisition and Arkane Lyon entering a consultation period. Both studios express gratitude to Xbox and anticipate the next chapter as independent entities.
