Shuffling the deck chairs: Xbox continues its "reset" with dramatic restructuring

In a major restructuring effort, Xbox is shuffling its deck chairs with significant changes to its internal organization. As part of this effort, Activision has been acquired by Microsoft, resulting in the highly popular Halo franchise being brought under the Xbox umbrella. Additionally, Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind critically acclaimed RPGs such as The Outer Worlds and Pillars of Eternity, is being absorbed into Bethesda Softworks, a subsidiary of Microsoft. This move is seen as a further consolidation of Xbox's gaming ambitions.
