Xbox wants to close the year highlighting the role of one of its most important studios. Through a message posted on social media, the company has praised the work of Obsidian Entertainment, calling 2025 an “absolutely massive” year for the team. A recognition that comes with facts on the table, not just promises for the future.

The message is no coincidence. Throughout the year, Obsidian has been a key player in the Xbox catalog, thanks to several major releases and a constant presence in industry conversations. Few first-party studios can boast a similar pace in a single year.

Obsidian solidifies 2025 with real releases and Xbox support

The year has been marked by the arrival of Avowed, one of the most relevant RPGs in Xbox’s recent catalog, and the release of The Outer Worlds 2, which is now available and has served to reinforce one of the studio’s most recognizable IPs. This is in addition to the ongoing work on Grounded 2, which has continued to expand content and keep its community active.

This set of releases explains the tone of Xbox’s message, which doesn’t talk about long-term plans, but rather results already delivered to players. In a context where many studios focus on a single project for years, Obsidian has managed to close 2025 with several fronts open and accomplished.

Xbox’s public recognition also reinforces the studio’s position heading into 2026, a year in which Obsidian will continue to be a key piece in the brand’s ecosystem. After such a complete 2025, the bar is set high, but it’s clear why Xbox is proud of the work done.
