It's time for Xbox's latest reinvention. This time, the company is shedding and shuffling studios. It's closing one, letting another go independent, and merging two together, but the biggest changes will see <em>Halo</em>, <em>Sea of Thieves</em>, and <em>Age of Empires</em> all move under the purview of Activision. It's a huge shift that consolidates Microsoft's energy into fewer franchises at fewer studios, and raises more questions about what exactly Xbox's strategy is — questions we might not get answered until its next hardware, Project Helix, is revealed.

Xbox has become a shell of its former self — and things are only getting worse. As part of its planned cuts impacting around 3,200 workers, the company announced more changes that will further dilute the brand.&nbsp;The future of Xbox looks more uncertain than ever.</p><p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:16px">
Yesterday’s news includes “eliminating 268 roles.” But there is also plenty of reorganization happening. Development of&nbsp;<em>Halo</em> is moving over to Activision Blizzard, helmed by “a new, purpose-built team” that is separate from the&nbsp;<em>Call of Duty</em> teams. Halo Studios will continue to exist, for now, primarily as a support studio. Meanwhile, <em>Sea of Thieves</em> developer Rare and <em>Age of Empires</em> studio World’s Edge are both moving under the Activision umbrella.
</p><p style="margin:0">Similarly, Obsidian is being moved out from Xbox Game Studios and under Bethesda Game Studios, where it will refocus on the <em>Fallout</em> franchise, and all of Microsoft’s casual games, like <em>Minesweeper</em> and <em>Solitaire</em>, are moving under <em>Candy Crush</em> developer King. Meanwhile Playground and Turn 10, the studios responsible for <em>Fable</em> and <em>Forza</em>, are merging into one.</p></div></td></tr></table><table class="button_block block-6"

Everyone has seen someone at the gym or running around their neighborhood wearing headphones that were never designed for workouts. Quite often those headphones are Beats. Good news for the earbud haters: The new Beats 360 over-ear headphones are durable and built to withstand sweat, with water resistance and swappable knit ear cups.

Warning

Almost all the messages that arrive here are garbage! Resist the urge to click on any unexpected or questionable links.

It may happen that e-mail will claim to come from liamon.com, perhaps from some administrative role or process. There are no users with liamon.com addresses that should be sending anyone e-mail. There are no accounts to expire. There are no passwords to leak. These are certainly garbage messages. These are certainly phishing attempts in some messages.

Absolutely ignore those links!
