The video game industry has reacted with shock and anger after Xbox shut down several game studios today, May 7, 2024 including Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks, the developers of Redfall and Hi-Fi Rush respectively.
The games are the property of the editor (in the case of Hi-fi Rush, Microsoft Games), so (baring licensing issues like music) as long as the editor is around the game should still be around.
Hifi Rush is in Humble Choice this month, and I noticed they have a redemption deadline which is a bit out of the ordinary. So it’s possible it’ll get delisted, or maybe Humble is just playing it safe with the keys they have.
This is awful. What happens to the games themselves? I haven’t played hifi rush yet but it’s been on my list.
Nothing.

Editor? Do you mean publisher?

I don’t know but it still hasn’t been cracked… I imagine things would be very bad if they decide to pull it for some reason…
