It says that, according to three of its sources, Microsoft hasn't ruled out turning the brand into a wholly-owned subsidiary. It's said the move could result in Xbox being operated as a joint venture with other partners or even potentially sold. Though how seriously the company is considering the potential strategy is unclear, it's reported that Microsoft currently has no imminent restructuring plans.

However, the move could theoretically still allow the 25-year-old gaming branch to operate within the company, just with a bit more distance from the greater Microsoft umbrella. The Information noted that, if the company were to move forward with a restructuring, it could follow the path paved by LinkedIn and GitHub, which it also operates as wholly owned subsidiaries. For now, Microsoft's goal is simply to make Xbox a more successful part of its business. Meanwhile, Sharma is also said to be pushing development on core franchises like Halo, The Elder Scrolls, and Fallout, with the latter two being of particular interest for the Xbox boss. There's no word on how exactly Microsoft intends to allocate resources to speed up the process of delivering new games in each series or when new installments would be intended to launch. It's also unclear if the move would result in the fast-tracking of long-awaited mainline entries like [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/the-elder-scrolls-vi']The Elder Scrolls 6[/URL] or [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/fallout-5']Fallout 5[/URL], specifically, or, maybe, spin-offs or remasters, such as [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/fallout-3-remaster-reportedly-still-in-active-development-new-starfield-content-out-soon']the rumoured Fallout 3 remaster[/URL].
