Summary
A report from The Game Business claimed that Obsidian Entertainment (developer of Avowed, The Outer Worlds, and Fallout: New Vegas) was at risk of closure amid Microsoft's Xbox business "reset." However, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier quickly refuted this, stating the studio is not in negotiations to avoid shutting down and that Xbox is keeping Obsidian. The situation involves broader Xbox layoffs, but Obsidian itself is reportedly safe.
