Beyond that, several studios XBOX acquired over the years would be leaving the XBOX family. Compulsion Games and Double Fine, for example, will become independent studios, but that has come with its own set of challenges.

As they begin their next chapter as an independent studio, we look forward to seeing what they create next.
