Ubisoft Proposes Voluntary Redundancies Amid Ongoing Restructuring

Ubisoft has proposed a voluntary redundancy plan affecting up to 200 positions at its Paris headquarters, which currently employs approximately 1,100 staff. This initiative is part of the company's ongoing efforts to reduce costs and streamline operations. The process will be conducted under France's Rupture Conventionnelle Collective (RCC), allowing employees to mutually agree on termination terms. A Ubisoft spokesperson stated that the proposal remains under discussion and no final decisions will be made until agreements are reached with employee representatives and validated by French authorities. This proposal is exclusive to Ubisoft International employees under French contracts and does not impact other French entities or Ubisoft teams worldwide. This move follows recent company actions, including the cancellation of six games, closure of two studios, and restructuring at other locations. The company has also announced a return to a five-day in-office workweek, with an annual allowance for remote work days.
