Independent game studio Double Fine has quickly released its latest game, Thank You Bus Driver, following its split from former owner Xbox earlier this summer. The developer is set to launch the chaotic, black-and-white driving simulation game in about two weeks. This marks Double Fine's first release since regaining its independence, following Xbox's corporate restructuring, which saw the console maker split five first-party studios and lay off around 3,200 employees by next summer.
The studio, known for titles like Psychonauts and Brutal Legend, is tackling the game differently with Double Fine Action Labs, a label for unique, smaller games that can be developed more rapidly. Developer Tim Schafer recently expressed his support for Xbox's Game Pass subscription service, believing it could help people discover quirky games like Double Fine's creations.
