Media: Microsoft may spin off Xbox into a separate company.
Microsoft is discussing several options for the future of Xbox, one of which is the possibility of turning the gaming division into a separate subsidiary of the corporation.This was reported by The Information, citing its sources.
👍 Xbox may once again be rebuilt within the current group of Microsoft divisions.This has been done many times in the past, and now they are considering another restructuring under the leadership of Asha Sharma.
👍 The second option is to turn Xbox into a separate subsidiary of Microsoft, fully controlled by the corporation.Examples include LinkedIn and GitHub, which are owned by a software giant but have a certain autonomy.
👍 The third option is the possibility of creating a separate gaming company based on Xbox under the management of Microsoft and third-party investors who want to invest in the project and share all the risks of running a gaming business with the corporation.Something similar happened with Ubisoft, which created Vantage Studios and agreed to develop the main series Far Cry, Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six together with the Chinese from Tencent.To pull off such a move, Microsoft would first have to take Xbox out of its main structure and make it a subsidiary.
Making Xbox a separate subsidiary would also open the door for Microsoft to sell its gaming business in the future.However, the latter is now unlikely, because the company wants to deal with games and consoles.
While Xbox continues to exist within Microsoft's core structure, CEO Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood have asked Xbox head Asha Sharma to work on accelerating the release of new games in the flagship series.We are talking primarily about Fallout (Microsoft missed the opportunity to make good money on the series after the release of the adaptation from Amazon), The Elder Scrolls (the sixth part has been awaited for 15 years) and Halo.
In response, Sharma presented a plan to increase investment in the gaming business and flagship blockbusters to achieve these goals.It has already allegedly received approval and should be implemented in the next fiscal year, which begins for Microsoft in July.However, the final budget has not yet been approved and may still change.
