About this episode

The episode discusses Microsoft's decision to shut down multiple studios and the future of Xbox amidst these changes.

FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki says the studio will continue to focus on creativity rather than just safe sequels to satisfy investors. The big news this week is that Microsoft is shutting down multiple studios allegedly, with the first one being Compulsion and whispers of Arkane being next, all while Xbox CEO Asha says they're speeding up development on the next versions of big franchise games. We discuss if it even matters and what the future of Xbox even is at this point. #fromsoftware #xbox #microsoft #compulsion #arkane #videogames #allyoucangeek #aycg #podcast
