Xbox Studio Shakeup: Spin-Offs and Layoffs Rumored as Microsoft Reshapes its Gaming Arm

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier says more Xbox Studios beyond Ninja Theory, Double Fine, and Compulsion are in trouble, with talks under way to spin off studios or sell them to other publishers. A broader “bloodbath” of layoffs is anticipated over the next two weeks as Microsoft navigates Activision Blizzard integration and the pressure to grow Game Pass, with potential ripple effects across PlayStation as studios renegotiate futures before the June 30 fiscal year-end.

Bethesda's Rejection of Obsidian's Elder Scrolls Spin-Off Ideas

Obsidian co-founder Chris Avellone revealed that Bethesda rejected multiple proposals from the studio to develop more Fallout games and spin-offs for The Elder Scrolls series. Avellone stated that one of the proposed Elder Scrolls spin-offs was intended to provide more adventures in the setting during the years before the next Bethesda release, similar to how Fallout: New Vegas served as a bridge between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. Despite the long wait between series entries, Bethesda's Todd Howard expressed hesitancy in outsourcing Fallout 5, emphasizing that Fallout is an integral part of the studio's DNA. Elder Scrolls 6 remains ahead of Fallout 5 in Bethesda's production queue.

Taylor Sheridan Expands "Yellowstone" Universe with Spin-Offs and Season 5 Extension.

Creator Taylor Sheridan plans to extend the final season of "Yellowstone" and hints at a potential spinoff with Matthew McConaughey in negotiations to join the franchise. The spinoff may involve a new cast and location, and Sheridan is also planning several more "Yellowstone" prequels. Despite the high cost of production, Sheridan expects these titles to become more expensive and believes there will be enough for many more prequels. Sheridan remains busy with the final "Yellowstone" episodes, a second and final season of "1923," the Bass Reeves spin-off, and the "Special Ops: Lioness" series with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman.

The Future of 'Ted Lasso': Uncertainty and Unanswered Questions.

Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard in Ted Lasso, has said that the possibility of a Season 4 or spin-offs is uncertain, but "everything is possible." The show's third season ended earlier this week, and many have assumed it was a series finale. Hunt explained that the reason the final episode of season three aired three hours later than previous episodes "wasn't really Apple's fault" and that the episode was delivered late by the team. There has been much talk of spin-offs, including a female-focused one featuring Juno Temple and Hannah Waddingham.
