Microsoft consolidated Xbox studios by placing Obsidian Entertainment under Bethesda Game Studios' leadership. Bethesda's studio head Jill Braff confirmed the restructuring is organizational only—Obsidian retains its identity and founder Feargus Urquhart remains studio lead. Both teams will collaborate on the next Fallout title as originally planned. This reunites the two studios under one parent company after Microsoft acquired each separately (Obsidian in 2018, Bethesda in 2021), echoing their successful partnership on Fallout: New Vegas.
