Microsoft Xbox faces studio closures as Persona 6 joins digital wishlists

Microsoft announced a major restructuring of its Xbox division, planning to shut down three studios—Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory, and Double Fine—within weeks. The moves, reported by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, are part of a push to make Xbox profitable and independent from the broader company, with negotiations underway for the studios to seek independence or sale. The restructuring, overseen by Xbox head Asha Sharma, targets any studio that has not demonstrated sufficient profitability and could affect additional developers.

In parallel, the upcoming role‑playing game Persona 6, revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase 2026, is now available to add to wishlists on digital storefronts for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam. The title will launch on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass from day one and supports Xbox Play Anywhere, extending access to both console and PC users across Latin America and beyond.
