Ahead of CEO Asha Sharma's 'reset,' Xbox studio execs leave and studios shutter
Microsoft is shutting down or selling at least three Xbox studios—Ninja Theory, Double Fine, and Compulsion Games—as CEO Asha Sharma's "reset" triggers layoffs and executive exits. The The Hellblade maker is said to close down unless a buyer steps in, while Double Fine and Compulsion negotiate to buy themselves back. Xbox Game Studios head Craig Duncan is also leaving amid the upheaval.
