It looks like Ubisoft might be getting ready for some layoffs. According to Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, the company announced through its internal communications channel that around 380 employees might be impacted by changes brought on by an upcoming restructuring.
The company recently announced it’s streamlining its business, making changes to everything from daily operations to its budget. These moves are intended to position Ubisoft for continued success in the future.
Ubisoft has been streamlining its business over the last few months to make operations simpler, lower costs, and build a stronger future for the company. These changes also reflect adjustments to projects and priorities based on recent evaluations of their game lineup, according to Ubisoft.
Recently, the company closed its studios in Winnipeg and Belgrade. It’s also reorganizing its global Publishing division, changing how teams are arranged and work.
“In Production, difficult decisions were made to close our studios in Winnipeg and Belgrade, and we have initiated consultations regarding a proposed restructuring of our Barcelona studio with a refocus of activities on Rainbow Six subject to employee representative consultations.”
We’re also making changes to how our global Publishing teams are organized and work, to ensure we remain strong in important markets. These changes, which are still being discussed with those affected, could impact up to 380 employees.
In the meantime, Ubisoft has said that its local management teams have been working directly with employees to make sure that there is plenty of support throughout the restructuring process.
“These changes do not reflect the talent, commitment, or contributions of the people affected,” said Ubisoft. “Local management teams are engaging directly with employees to provide information, answer questions, and ensure appropriate support throughout the process.”
According to Insider Gaming, approximately 165 employees were laid off when the Winnipeg and Belgrade studios were closed down. Along with this, Ubisoft Barcelona has faced 51 layoffs, Rainbow Six Siege saw 120 of its employees being ramped off the project, and an undisclosed number of employees have been laid off at Ubisoft San Francisco.
This report follows Ubisoft’s recent financial announcement, which showed a loss of about €1.3 billion (around $1.4 billion) for the year ending March 31, 2026. The company’s net bookings also decreased by 17.4% compared to the previous year.
Ubisoft anticipates continued losses, projecting an 8-9% decrease—around €500 million—in earnings for the next fiscal year. They expect to become profitable again by fiscal year 2028, driven by new games designed with more opportunities for in-game purchases.
For the past few years, Ubisoft has been working to reduce costs, and they’ve sped up those efforts since announcing a major company reorganization in January. As part of this change, Ubisoft is shifting to a more independent team structure, creating five separate creative divisions. Each division will focus on specific game franchises, types of games, and platforms.
