At Xbox, our mission is to reach every gamer on the planet to play, watch, communicate, and create together. Our 16 game development studios focus on delivering great games for everyone, wherever they play—on console, PC, or mobile devices. We are responsible for developing and publishing some of the biggest game franchises in history: Age of Empires, Forza, Gears of War, Halo, Minecraft, Microsoft Solitaire, Microsoft Flight Simulator, State of Decay, and many more. In 2018-2019, we added nine new studios to bring a steady stream of new, exclusive games to our fans. We believe that play is the thing that unites everyone. When everyone plays, we all win.

In addition to our studios, the Xbox org includes a myriad of opportunities to impact the Xbox gaming ecosystem, including console, PC, web, and mobile devices. We deliver cutting edge OS and low-level functionality, client SDKs, creator tools, consumer experiences, and global scale cloud services to power everything. Work closely with game and content creators, and with gamers and consumers to create and grow our world.
