Microsoft just announced four Xbox studios will spin off; formal spinoff announcement typically follows within 2-3 weeks of initial disclosure.
Rules
Resolves YES if Microsoft officially announces the spinoff structure, timeline, or named studios being separated from Xbox division. Source: official Microsoft press release or SEC filing.
Resolution
Microsoft officially announced on July 6, 2026, that Double Fine and Compulsion Games were released from Xbox to become independent studios, and Undead Labs and Ninja Theory were sold to buyers. This constitutes an official announcement of the spinoff structure and named studios being separated, satisfying the resolution criteria before July 25.
