Since being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian Entertainment has become a leading studio within the Xbox ecosystem. As of 2025, the studio has released Avowed and is on the brink of launching The Outer Worlds 2, showcasing its importance alongside a wider group of studios that have struggled to produce games post-acquisition. Other studios such as The Initiative and InXile have yet to make impactful releases, which highlights Obsidian's vital role in Xbox's game lineup.
Obsidian Entertainment has emerged as one of Xbox's most valuable studios, successfully shipping Avowed in 2025 and anticipating The Outer Worlds 2 later this year.
The acquisition spree by Microsoft in 2018 that gathered various studios has not yielded many releases, with Obsidian standing out as a key contributor since.
