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.
