Double Fine Regains IP Rights After Exiting Xbox Game Studios

Double Fine Productions has regained ownership of its IP and publishing rights after spinning out from Xbox Game Studios, with Compulsion Games also separating from Xbox. Tim Schafer says the transfer is underway and aims to keep publishing without Microsoft branding. The studio will host Amnesia Fortnight 2026, a live game jam to develop prototypes (backed by a Kickstarter campaign) to stabilize finances after last month’s layoffs of 23 staff, with Kiln cited as a prototype that grew into a full project.

Double Fine regains control of game IP and publishing after Xbox split

Double Fine confirms it now owns, or will soon own, the IP and publishing rights to all games it made during its seven-year stint under Xbox, with some titles still temporarily licensed to Xbox as transfers finalize. Tim Schafer said the IP is returning to the studio and the publishing rights will follow, and the company plans to revive its Amnesia Fortnight game jam as a Kickstarter campaign later this year. This comes amid Xbox's broader restructuring and earlier layoffs, signaling a clearer path to independence and future projects.
