I can see why Arkane Austin was shut down after Redfall failed, but I do not get why they'd shut down Tango Gameworks after the success of "Hi-Fi Rush" and being MS' only Japanese studio.

AutoTL;DR - 1.6yr
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As first posted by IGN who managed to get a copy of an internal email sent by Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, the studios themselves have now confirmed it's all true across various posts on X (formerly Twitter).
Alpha Dog Studios who made multiple mobiles games like Mighty DOOM (which will shut) and Wraithborne.
Such a shame to see more studios get the chop, especially odd is Tango Gameworks because Hi-Fi Rush was quite a hit overall even though it was completely surprise released.
Statements on X from: Tango Gameworks, Arkane Studios, and Alpha Dog Games.
These massive companies buy up various other publishers and developers, force them into box-ticking exercises for every penny they can get and then shut them all down.
This news comes only days after GTA 6 publisher Take-Two shuts Roll7 and Intercept Games.
