TL;DR

Embracer Group has agreed to sell Gearbox Interactive to Take-Two for $460 million, with Take-Two acquiring full ownership of several popular gaming franchises including Borderlands and Homeworld. Embracer will retain some Gearbox assets, while the acquired assets will be led by Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford under Take-Two's 2K division. The sale comes as part of Embracer's restructuring efforts following a failed $2 billion deal last year, and is expected to be finalized by June 2024.
