Psychonauts team Double Fine is going to share “what’s next for the studio” today as part of a livestream on the Kinda Funny Games YouTube channel.
Having just returned to independence after years of ownership under Microsoft, the developer plans to talk about its future on the live show scheduled to start in the coming hours. I doubt you’re going to get actual game announcements out of the livestream, but I presume Tim Schafer will be there to talk about how Double Fine will approach its future.
Whatever happens, I’ll update this article with the news.
So…is this thing still on? 🎙️😅
Because @timoflegend.bsky.social will be heading to @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social *TOMORROW AFTERNOON* (Aug 21, time TBA) to talk about what’s next for the studio. Come support our indie-pendence with some KFBFs. See you there!

At the end of last month, 23 employees had to be let go from Double Fine in order to ensure the team’s future. “As a small, tightly-knit team, these actions are not taken lightly. Only the survival of our studio would ever make us consider such a painful action. Our transition to becoming an independent company also means becoming a size that we can sustain,” Schafer said.
As well as the Psychonauts series, Double Fine also made Brutal Legend, Broken Age, Costume Quest, Stacking, and much more. If comebacks for any of these franchises were on the cards, which one would you hope it would be? Let us know in the comments below.
