Under Microsofts E3-pressekonference afslørede at de har købt endnu et studie, nemlig Double Fine. Dette er bare en af mange køb Microsoft har gjort det seneste års tid, men noget kunne tyde på at de ikke bliver det sidste.
I et interview med GamesBeat fortæller chefen for disse planer, Matt Booty, at de faktisk har plads til yderligere to køb, hvis de rigtige aftaler skulle melde sig.
"I'd say the pace of acquisition has more to do with the kinds of studios that we're looking for and the fit, as opposed to, "Hey, we're trying to get so many deals done per quarter." That's not how we're going about it. It may be that we find some studios that fit the mold of what we're looking for. Again, I feel supported such that if there were to be two of those that we were to find, and they were willing in the next couple months, we'd have the support to do that. But I don't feel under pressure to go and fill a quota with those."
Rygterne har svirret tidligere om et køb af studiet bag A Plague Tale: Innocence, altså Asobo Studios, samt danske IO Interactive.
