Xbox merges Forza studios into one team to push Horizon and Fable

Microsoft is uniting Playground Games (Forza Horizon) and Turn 10 Studios (Forza Motorsport) into a single studio focused on the Forza and Fable franchises, consolidating their work on Forza Horizon and Fable after Turn 10 layoffs left Motorsport in flux. This reorg is part of a broader Xbox restructuring that also reshuffles other major studios and franchises.
