Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that four Bethesda studios would be shutdown, including the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush.

Microsoft shocked the gaming community this week when it announced that it was closing four Bethesda-owned studios, Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Studios, and Roundhouse Games. The biggest surprise was Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, a game that was critically acclaimed and recently saw a PS5 port in March 2024. This move by the Xbox brand was unexpected by the community, but a former Microsoft has shed light on its decision and what the future could hold for Xbox.

Poor Redfall had it even worse since it launched so rough, it never had a chance.” The former PR manager explained that the eventual closure of the four Bethesda studios can be attributed to Microsoft’s recent spending spree, which saw the company purchase Bethesda for $7.5 billion, followed by Activision for close to $75 billion.
