Xbox Rumors and Speculation

I actually think this makes sense. It definitely fits with the mantra of exclusives with strong SP and MP components.
Yeah but its great because of Respawn. If no Respawn who cares?

If it is just an IP then its got to be an IP that is somewhat dormant and doesn't require the studio who made it good

So, using this logic, they might aswell buy no IP.

Well I would assume if they wanted IP they would be looking for a studio that comes with it because there aren't that many IPs they could get that are really worth forcing on one of their studios they have.

but an example of an IP I would think could make sense would be something like Castlevania. Konami doesn't have much of a plan for it, it has plenty of games that could eventually be on game pass, its well known, and there would be multiple ways to continue it with bigger budget games or smaller budget games.

Yeah, I love TF but just buying the IP seems a bit short-sighted if you then need to find a studio (either already internal or 2nd party/new acquisition) to make the thing. I think just buying IP is kind of dumb when the studio that created it is not attached (be link buying Metal Gear IP without Kojima and his team). I mean it's interesting but not an approach I'm particularly excited about.

Sunday MS will announce that they acquired Remedy, Sega, From, Square Enix, Bungie, Konami, Asobo, IO, Warner Brothers and of course Insomniac.

To be fair, they’re probably talking about 3rd party studios when saying with more than 23 studios worldwide creating games for Xbox.

Maybe they’re not including the teams from studios with multiple teams working on different projects. Playgrounds had three, I think ninja theory does as well.
I think Colt Eastwood or Jeff Grubb said like 35 studios when counting studios that have more than one.
