In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, XBOX executives spoke at length about adapting games into movies and TV series.
First, Todd Howard discussed the Fallout series, which is intended to go far beyond video games.
“We talked about this at the end of season 2, hinting we’re going to new places.
So one of the things that we all love about Fallout is the geography of the world and being able to show some new things in the Fallout world that I think will surprise people, that they’ve never seen before in the games.”
Next, Asha Sharma, the president of XBOX, made it very clear that she plans to invest heavily in film and television. In particular, she’s betting big on Call of Duty, which she describes as a franchise even bigger than the MCU.
“If you think about it, we’ve got the number two show of all time on Amazon [Fallout], Minecraft was top 5 in 2025, Call of Duty is bigger than the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So it all measures. [There’s] more appetite to work with us on titles than ever before.”
Finally, Matt Booty, the director of content for XBOX, spoke about his admiration for the Gears of War series and the upcoming movie. He even made it clear that he wants to invest heavily in Halo too.
“Halo first and foremost, is one of our biggest franchises. It’s iconic to Xbox and we’re certainly going to invest going forward.”
