The Xbox division reorganization Microsoft announced on September 22, 2026 places Obsidian under Bethesda's purview.

According to the email text published by IGN, Braff also said there are no plans to rework current development plans or ask teams to change the work they are doing. Obsidian is working on a new Fallout project with Bethesda Game Studios, and Braff said more details will be shared in the coming months.

Bethesda Game Studios' labor union, OneBGS, announced on its official Bluesky account that it has taken legal action against the studio over severance terms given to laid-off employees. The layoffs, affecting dozens of workers in Canada who worked on the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls series, were first communicated via video call on July 6, 2026, with employment initially set to continue until September while the union and company discussed severance. However, on July 17, the same day Bethesda announced future developments for both franchises, affected employees received an email notification stating they would receive only the legally minimum severance pay, including pay in lieu of statutory notice and unused vacation pay, without union negotiation. Affected workers also lost group benefits at that point. OneBGS stated that this response violates Canadian labor law and that it has initiated legal proceedings. The union commented that while Xbox and Bethesda generate large profits from their workforce, workers are being discarded, and it aims to end the cycle where employees bear the cost of management's decisions.
Microsoft's Xbox division is undergoing a large-scale restructuring that will cut approximately 3,200 jobs over the next year, part of a broader layoff of about 4,800 employees across the company. As part of the reorganization, ZeniMax Media will shift its strategy to focus on major franchises including Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Quake, and Wolfenstein, according to a Bloomberg report cited by multiple outlets. The restructuring has hit id Software, the studio behind DOOM and Quake, particularly hard. Reports from Game Developer and Game Informer, cited by GIGAZINE and GameSpark, indicate that roughly half of id Software's staff has been laid off, with former Bethesda executive Jeff Gardiner reporting 95 layoffs out of an estimated 185 employees. Veteran developers including principal concept artist Colin Geller, animator Chris Street, and principal programmer Dustin Land have confirmed their departures. The quality assurance department was reportedly devastated. Arkane Studios in Lyon is also under review, with Microsoft considering strategic options including a sale or spin-out, though French labor laws may slow the process. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma told employees in an internal memo that no announced first-party titles will be cancelled.
