This is what I'd aim for if I was running Xbox and the stars aligned

  • Late January: Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition: Xbox Port.
  • Mid-Late February: Redfall.
  • Late March: Ghostwire Tokyo Xbox Port.
  • Mid April: Minecraft Legends.
  • Early May: Starfield.
  • Mid-Late June: Diablo IV.
  • Mid July: Age of Empires IV: Xbox Port.
  • Early August: Forza Motorsport & Late August: Ara History Untold.

Release per month until August, based on announced stuff. Think a port is fine for January, Redfall is a major release for Feb, Ghostwire port is fine for March since it also has major releases and Wo Long Game Pass on day one which is another major release. Shove Age IV into July and delay Motorsport/Ara together in August since they shouldn't clash.

Minecraft Legends is different enough that it could launch along side another big release and I don't it would hurt either one.  Same with Ghostwire.

But with all this, there is no way to avoid stepping on someones' feet.

Agreed, I'm just trying to spread them out as much as possible, taking into account stuff like, even if Microsoft doesn't have a major exclusive or Xbox IP in March, they still have a major 3rd party in Wo Long launching day one into Game Pass so they can chill and give other studios a tiny bit extra time. Minecraft is Minecraft so it could solo April, it could also definitely live alongside another major release, I just don't know what one, Motorsport if it's ready?

I played Diablo 3 across 3 platforms and only did it single player and never did the seasons, but I wanted to.  I downloaded Diablo 2 on Xbox but so far have only sampled it.  Just no time to play the way I'd like.  I should have a lot more time by the time Diablo IV releases, so I'd like to attack it from several angles.

If Blizzard does Diablo 4 seasons in a similar way to Diablo 3, I'll give it a try every once in a while. D3 seasons were nothing more than creating a new character, then re-playing the main game to earn new and increasingly more powerful rewards and these characters were saved. Of course you would make new strategies as there were slight differentiators between seasons. I had like 18 different characters in Diablo 3 by one point lol.

But I have a feeling that's not what they're going for with Diablo 4. I'm pretty sure they're going to go the Destiny 2 route with new story narratives and limited time events. That's something I just wouldn't have the time for lol as fun as they may be. 

Oh man. I had watched a few tutorials videos on the Diablo 3 seasons which looked pretty fun.  I just assumed 4 would be similar.  I'm sure I'll still get plenty of enjoyment though.

Why the hell is 343i the only XGS with zero open career positions on their website, it isn't like the others have many open still, the vast majority have less than 10 open positions but it's just weird that 343 is the only one with 0, Lol. I'm pretty sure they've had 0 on their website since the hiring freeze too, either someone isn't updating the website or 343 was hit the hardest.

It's almost as if XGS is telling 343 to dig themselves out of their rut they put themselves in and Xbox isn't giving them anymore money/resources until they do so lol

That could be the reason Tbh.

Or a restructuring but I thought we would have heard about that.

I wonder how much Certain Affinity and Skybox are hiring for their Halo teams.

That could explain why 343 thought it was a good idea to charge $18 for this weeks winter store bundle despite a year of fans telling them repeatedly to stop overcharging their cosmetics

Oops, I actually somehow missed checking two entirely, both Undead Labs and World's Edge have 0. Though you can understand why World's Edge has 0 since they're more like a supervisory studio. Still looks like there's some sort of partial hiring freeze.

Open Positions on Their Websites.

  • Playground Games - 61.
  • Obsidian - 8.
  • Rare - 8.
  • Compulsion Games - 8.
  • The Coalition - 8.
  • Mojang - 6.
  • Ninja Theory - 6.
  • Turn 10 - 3.
  • InXile - 3.
  • Double Fine - 1.
  • 343 Industries - 0.
  • Undead Labs - 0.
  • World's Edge - 0.
