It's no secret that Ubisoft has had a rough time of things of late, with the gaming giant announcing sweeping changes to its structure in early 2026 , followed by layoffs a few short months ago . Now, it seems as though Ubisoft is conducting even more layoffs, with the layoffs this time resulting in several studio closures as well. According to Insider Gaming , insider sources at Ubisoft have confirmed that as many as 380 workers have been laid off.

The studios most affected were Ubisoft Winnipeg, where 65 employees were laid off, and the studio was closed, and Ubisoft Belgrade, which suffered the same fate after around 100 employees were laid off. 51 employees lost their jobs at Ubisoft Barcelona, and an undisclosed number of staff were laid off at Ubisoft San Francisco. Meanwhile, 120 employees were "ramped off," or removed, from Rainbow Six Siege at Ubisoft Montreal, with Ubisoft explaining in a statement that "it is normal practice to adjust team size and resource allocation based on evolving priorities and operational needs." Ubisoft announced the layoffs internally via a memo, which was leaked to the press ahead of schedule and before some of the staff had even learned of the redundancies. The original statement follows.
