Double Fine Regains IP and Publishing Rights After Leaving Xbox

Double Fine announced it has fully reacquired the IP and publishing rights to its Xbox-era games, including Psychonauts and Kiln, following its separation from Microsoft. While some titles may still show Microsoft branding during the transition, Schafer says sales now directly support the studio's runway. The studio is planning a major Kiln update with a price drop and is reviving Amnesia Fortnight as a Kickstarter-backed live game jam to help fund future projects.

Kiln Pots Its Way Onto Game Pass Day One

Xbox Game Pass is adding Kiln, a chaotic pottery-based multiplayer title from Double Fine, as a day-one release for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on April 23, 2026. In Kiln you sculpt clay pots, possess them to fight, and compete in explosive team modes, with progress tracked in the hub world The Wedge and main mode Quench; the launch includes a four-week roadmap of freebies (Dinosaur Decoration Pack, a new map called Hades, and a Sticker Pack), followed by a Cats and Dogs Decoration Pack and more maps later in summer, plus a photo mode planned for Fall/Winter. Achievements total 1,000G and may be time-consuming to grind. Recent price cuts to Game Pass enhance accessibility for subscribers.

Kiln: From Clay Pots to Competitive Pottery Battlegrounds

Kiln: From Clay Pots to Competitive Pottery Battlegrounds

Double Fine's Kiln began as a two‑week Amnesia Fortnight prototype and grew into a pottery‑powered multiplayer brawler. Real‑life pottery classes helped the team translate clay shaping, glazing, and tooling into a controller‑driven experience where pots are the stars. Players customize pots (shapes, glazes, handles, stickers), share creations in The Wedge, team up or duel in battles, and can opt to focus on pottery in the lobby. Kiln is headed for Spring 2026 on Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Steam, with Xbox Game Pass and a March 2026 closed beta.
