Ubisoft cuts staff at San Francisco office amid broader restructuring
Ubisoft announced layoffs affecting 50 to 100 employees at its San Francisco location as part of a company-wide cost-restructuring effort that also includes studio closures in Winnipeg and Belgrade.
Ubisoft informed staff in an internal meeting that it will lay off between 50 and 100 employees at its San Francisco office, which continues to house functions such as IT and marketing after the closure of the local development studio in late 2024. The cuts are described as part of the company's ongoing cost-restructuring measures.
The San Francisco reductions come as Ubisoft also announced the shutdown of its Winnipeg and Belgrade studios and further workforce reductions at other locations. The exact number of affected workers has not been confirmed.
Ubisoft has not responded to requests for comment. The story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
