Xbox Game Studios is arguably the fourth VideoGame company to be on the level of Creator/{{Nintendo}}, Creator/{{Sega}}, and Creator/SonyInteractiveEntertainment. While Microsoft's clout of popular exclusive video game franchises isn't as extensive as those three, they do have a few notable ones, with their current big four being first-person sci-fi shooter franchise ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'',[[note]]which, thanks to original developer Creator/{{Bungie}}, put the Xbox on the map; series currently developed by Creator/ThreeFourThreeIndustries[[/note]] third-person shooter franchise ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'',[[note]]which the publisher bought from original developer Creator/EpicGames; series currently developed by Creator/TheCoalition[[/note]] famed sandbox game ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'',[[note]]Microsoft acquired it and its developer Mojang in 2014; ''VideoGame/{{Fable}}'' was one of Microsoft's big four in the past, but it has since gone mostly dormant with its developer Creator/LionheadStudios shut down in 2016 and no new main entry since 2010's ''VideoGame/FableIII'', while ''Minecraft'' remains actively developed and marketed to this day[[/note]] and semi-sim racing franchise ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}''.[[note]]which is currently divided between the original ''Forza Motorsport'' series and the 2012-introduced ''Forza Horizon'' series; ''Forza Motorsport'' handled by its long-time original developer Creator/TurnTenStudios, and ''Forza Horizon'' primarily developed by Creator/PlaygroundGames with Turn 10's assistance[[/note]]
