Phil Spencer confirms that Xbox will buy more studios • Eurogamer.pt

They’re looking to buy more studios, said Phil Spencer, head of Xbox at Microsoft.

In a conversation during a Wall Street Journal event, thank you VGCSpencer was asked if they were interested in buying more studios and they said they continue to look for talent who can improve the company.

“I’m really proud of some of the creators we’ve chosen to be part of Xbox. A lot of these creators have a choice. To Xbox and they see our plan for the platform and the service and I want them to be able to do their most amazing creative work as part of this team.”

“We’re giving them financial stability. It’s not just about the success of their next game. I want to give them more creativity, more time to do their best work. That’s my goal, we believe strongly in the content. I heard Satya Nadella talking about it and Amy Hood talking about it.”

“So we’re always looking for more people who we think are a good match and teams that can be good partners for our strategy. We’re definitely not done yet.”

There’s no set quota to meet or even a timeline for an acquisition, says Spencer, but if they find a good studio, they’ll try to figure out what they can do together, and that’s one of the “perks of being at Microsoft and being able to choose is a long-term approach and adding great creators to the The catalog is an important part of that.”

The head of Xbox also commented that studios and teams remain independent to pursue their projects and maintain their DNA, and not maneuver the Xbox into something they are not.
