Over the past few years, Xbox has been rapidly increasing its portfolio of first-party studios. Outside of the Bethesda acquisition, Microsoft has managed to acquire Ninja Theory, Obsidian, InXile, Double Fine, and set up the Initiative - the studio behind Perfect Dark. That being said, the head of Xbox Game Studios, Matt Booty, confirmed that Microsoft "will continue to look for studios that can add great people, great teams, great new ideas to our lineup.”

Booty highlighted the fact that Game Pass is like any streaming service, and it needs a consistent flow of new content as it continues to grow. He continues to say that Microsoft will grow its portfolio “as our service grows.”
With Microsoft bringing great value for money with Game Pass, it's good to see the company looking for ways to keep growing the game subscription service. In terms of Microsoft’s overall line, which includes Bethesda releases, Booty said he wants to “get to a point of releasing a new game every quarter.” To successfully release a first-party game every quarter would indeed be a great step in the right direction, but Matt Booty is somewhat realistic about this dream.
“Games take up to four or five years to make, and the reality is that not every project we start will make it to launch. But if you add all that up, that’s how we’ve gotten to our state today, with two dozen studios making games across a variety of genres." He then continued to say, "we know that a thriving entertainment service needs a consistent and exciting flow of new content. So our portfolio will continue to grow as our service grows.”
Will defend anything Dragon Ball. Occasionally has two-way conversations with himself. Has sleepless nights about Half-Life 3 confirmed.
