Not confirmed by Xbox itself as of yet. Jason Schreier is reporting that Compulsion employees were told this past Friday that the studio would be shuttered.

Schreier is one of the few that when he reports it, it's as good as done. I'm personally expecting Xbox to make the announcement later today. Unless they're still deciding on who else to close and make the announcement then collectively.

Yeah is Schreier is reporting that, then its done.
He is not the type that makes sh*t up.

I just saw this on the Kotaku article. If they were informed on Friday, then this could be the studio's last-ditch effort to hopefully go indie.

"Update: Studio leadership is currently in negotiations with Microsoft"

Well at the end of the day I personally bought South of Midnight so I did my part. Actually a pretty great game. But at the end of the day they’ve released 3 games in 17yrs and SoM sold terrible.

Remember when a bunch of fools wanted Microsoft to buy SEGA a couple years ago and I was opposed to it. Imagine all the layoffs and shit that would be happening. People who celebrated all those acquisitions. Feel dumb yet?

Compulsion is not a big loss. South of Midnight was their best game but still lacking. I was always critical of the acquisition.

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off.

Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening.

Ninja Theory? Senua was literally just announced. This is crazy.

Pretty much what I expected when I said a while ago when this New CEO was going to take over its pretty much over for the Xbox that you know. Even if you are still making money as far as MS is concerned if you are not making big money than its only a matter of time especially now when they are all in on AI. If anything, they might just spin off the division which will pretty much be the death of the platform. MS as always only know one tool when profits start to fall and that is to fire everything then try to slowly hire back if needed but who would ever come back. I am even skeptical that Helix will make it to market even thought they already spent the money. Its probably just going to transition to a PC as I stated before like the surface and MS will exit totally as a console developer.

Not really this are the kind of studios you just to expect to go down, they barely had any value. Even Double Fine games that are on gamepass barely were played.
