    According to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft plans to invest more heavily in Battle.net as a PC platform, with Asha Sharma saying its user retention is nearly as good as Steam's.

Microsoft also plans to simplify Xbox's publishing tools and APIs, and Sharma said Xbox will keep investing in other PC storefronts including Steam as long as they reach distinct audiences.

    Undead Labs leaves Xbox to become employee-owned, explains early State of Decay 3 reveal

    State of Decay 3 developer Undead Labs has left Xbox Game Studios to become an independent, employee-owned studio. Studio boss Philip Holt told The Game Business that nothing went wrong, and that he proposed a management-led buyout which Microsoft accepted, since the studio was close to revenue and could raise the remaining funds for State of Decay 3 itself. He also said the game was announced back in 2020 partly to keep the project and studio on Microsoft's radar during its acquisition spree of publishers like Bethesda and Activision Blizzard, with a small team working on it since then.

    Undead Labs has spoken out after rebuying its independence and leaving Xbox last month, with studio boss Phillip Holt saying State of Decay 3 needs some changes because of the layoffs, though he does not expect a dramatic scope change. The game is in alpha with a closed group of testers, has a vague 2027 release window, and will still launch on Game Pass day one. Holt also explained the 2020 reveal was meant to keep the studio from being swallowed up or divested, and said the series has reached 25 million players.
