Xbox Game Studios is a privately owned American video game publisher and developer headquartered in Redmond, Washington. Founded in 2000 as Microsoft Games, the company underwent several name changes before settling on its current name in 2019. Its primary business is consumer gaming. As of 2023, the company employed approximately 90 people and generated revenue of around $50 million. The company's shift towards acquiring more game titles than studios significantly influenced its evolution and current identity.
Louise O’Connor, a long-time Rare executive producer, was appointed chief of staff at Xbox Game Studios in August 2025. This followed the cancellation of Rare's Everwild project, a fantasy adventure game in development for nearly a decade. O’Connor had spent over 25 years at Rare, joining in 2001, before the company's acquisition by Microsoft in 2002. The Everwild cancellation prompted discussion about the changing dynamics of game development and strategic shifts within major studios.
