No, Xbox’s Obsidian studio ISN’T shutting down — new comments dispute closure claims

Ah yes, one of Xbox’s most acclaimed studios, known for games like Fallout: New Vegas, Grounded and The Outer Worlds, is shutting down… oh wait, never mind. It’s just the Xbox rumor mill spinning up another baseless claim.

Forgive the sass, but it’s becoming exhausting. Yes, I’m fully aware a major shake-up is underway at Xbox, and we all have every right to be on the edge of our seats. At the same time, though, I’d quite like to enjoy my hobby of gaming without feeling like the entire industry is crumbling around me every other day.
