But Microsoft claimed it was a success, reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/xbox-exclusive-hi-fi-rush-hits-2-million-players\">two million players in a month<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/hi-fi-rush-review\">receiving high praise from critics<\/a>. A year after launch, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/shock-and-anger-as-xbox-shuts-down-arkane-austin-tango-gameworks-and-more\">Microsoft shocked the video game world by shutting Tango Gameworks down<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t feel it\u2019s my place to give them advice, but I think going back to what I said earlier about the balance of routine and preserving the style of your games is relevant,&#8221; Toyama said of the closure. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You look at an example like FromSoftware: they keep making different games but certain styles and aspects of their games stay the same. That\u2019s an obvious example of how a studio is successful. Not changing everything every time might be the key to life and surviving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tango Gameworks&#8217; closure came alongside other lay-offs at Microsoft, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/microsoft-closes-redfall-developer-arkane-austin-hifi-rush-developer-tango-gameworks-and-more-in-devastating-cuts-at-bethesda\">the shutting down of Redfall developer Arkane Austin<\/a>, amid cuts affecting 1,900 staff.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft&#8217;s gaming executives have remained vague so far on the exact reasons for the closures, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/xbox-boss-phil-spencer-addresses-studio-closures-ign-live-2024\">Xbox boss Phil Spencer later discussed it with IGN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have to run a sustainable business inside the company and grow, and that means sometimes I have to make hard decisions that frankly are not decisions I love, but decisions that somebody needs to go make,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/elden-ring-reaches-25-million-units-sold-ahead-of-shadow-of-the-erdtree\">FromSoftware&#8217;s Elden Ring has sold an incredible 25 million copies<\/a>, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/those-tough-elden-ring-dlc-requirements-didnt-stop-shadow-of-the-erdtree-sales-it-sold-an-incredible-5-million-in-just-3-days\">DLC Shadow of the Erdtree sold five million in just three days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter.
