Just a few days ago, Microsoft surprised us with what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest news of the year in the video game industry. The Redmond company confirmed the purchase of Activision Blizzard, one of the large third party companies currently in the sector.
To this purchase must be added the one that was also made several months ago with Bethesda and the entire Zenimax group, which greatly increased the number of Xbox studios. However, not so many years ago the company led by Phil Spencer was going through a tough time as far as its own studios are concerned.
This is how Xbox studios have evolved in the last 5 years
Precisely for this reason, the user Klobrille, known for offering information regarding Xbox projects on several occasions, has shared a tweet in which we have been able to see the evolution of Xbox studios in the last 5 years, where the evolution is quite evident.
This infographic shows Xbox Game Studios as the most awarded publisher of 2021
As we can see in the first image, Xbox only had 5 studios and Xbox Game Studios as the official publisher. However, after the acquisition of Activision, Xbox studios have grown to 35, which makes the company one of the companies with the most in-house studies in the sector.
For now, we’ve had the chance to try few of the titles from these studios, but there’s no doubt that the future of Xbox looks fantastic, not only because of the number, but also because of the quality among its members.
