Ubisoft plans cuts at German studios, adding to wave of workforce reductions
Ubisoft is planning to reduce its workforce in Germany, where it operates a trio of studios, by about 100 workers, Game File has learned. The company wants to offer employees buyouts to, should enough people accept, avoid having to lay anyone off. βIn Germany, we initiated discussions with the Works Council last week regarding a proposed voluntary departure plan across Ubisoft Dusseldorf, Ubisoft Berlin & Ubisoft Mainz,β a company rep told Game File. A βworks councilβ is a union-like group representing employees. βThe voluntary plan is the primary measure being proposed to support the intended organizational changes,β the Ubisoft rep added. The company declined to confirm the scale of the potential headcount cut. Of the impacted studios, Mainz might be the best known to the public. It leads development of the Anno series and shipped the well-reviewed strategy game Anno 117: Pax Romana in November 2025. Berlin and Dusseldorf operate as support studios within Ubisoftβs creative network. Berlin recently supported the development of Rainbow Six Siege and the Rayman Legends Retold remake. Dusseldorf also contributed to those projects, as well as The Settlers and Ubisoft-branded escape rooms. Dusseldorf is the biggest of the three studios, with some 400+ workers, compared to just over 100 at the other two, a source familiar with the reductions and the teams told Game File. More than half of these new reductions of about 100 people are expected to happen at Dusseldorf. The planned cuts were announced at a town hall for the German studios on Tuesday of last week. In an email follow-up, the studio groupβs managing director, Benedikt Grindel, said the cuts were intended to βbest position our German studios for the future... with a clearer focus on their role, capabilities and organizational setup needed for the work ahead.β The email was an echo of the past. In January 2025, Grindel had emailed the Ubisoft developers in his region (or studio βzoneβ) to explain that a round of 185 cuts at the time, including about 65 at Dusseldorf, were βessential to improve our operational efficiency and ensure the long-term sustainability of our studios, the zone and the company.β A half-decade of continued job cuts Ubisoft has been aggressively cutting its headcount for years. At the end of September 2022, it had 20,729 workers. By the end of March 2026, that total was down to 16,590. Studio management is trying to trim costs as it grapples with a changing industry and a drought of releases, let alone hits. The company announced earlier this year that it had reduced its costs since 2022 by βnearly β¬325 millionβ ($362m) and planned to lower them through 2028 by another β¬180 million ($200m). In June the company said it was closing down its Winnipeg and Belgrade studios and cutting roles in its Barcelona team. Even commercial and creative success hasnβt spared studios from this ongoing company-wide contraction. As Game File was nailing down details around the proposed cuts in Germany, Ubisoft management was informing workers of cuts in its Singapore studio, which shipped a hit remake of Assassinβs Creed IV: Black Flag this past July. Some 70 positions in Singapore are being eliminated βto align the studio with upcoming production needs,β per a company repβs statement to Game File. In early 2024, a large team in the Singapore studio launched the multiplayer pirate game Skull & Bones. It performed poorly but has been supported with regular content updates since. Many of Ubisoftβs studios around the world are heavily subsidized via regional grants and tax breaks. Singapore had been among them for years, but received no such local assistance in the 12 months ending this past March. News of the Singapore cuts broke today alongside word that Ubisoft is also proposing the closure of RedLynx, pending negotiations with officials. The Finnish studio behind the motorbike series Trials was founded in 2000 and sold to Ubisoft in 2011. As reported by VGC (and corroborated by Game File), Ubisoft management told employees it could not come up with a new, sustainable assignment for RedLynx. The 2025 workforce at Ubisoft Dusseldorf were straight-up cuts. This time, Ubisoft is hoping the reductions at its trio of German studios will largely come from workers taking a payout to leave. The company offered such voluntary dismissals at its Massive Entertainment studio (The Division) a year ago. For the German studiosβ buyouts this time around, Ubisoft and the Works Council had discussed a formula thatβd pay a workerβs monthly salary multiplied by 1.5 and by the number of years theyβve worked at the company, according to Game File sources. The formula is still subject to negotiations with the Works Council and has not yet been part of an official offer to workers. It could be adjusted up or down, and it could be supplemented with additional bonuses. Asked about the floated payout formula, a Ubisoft rep told Game File, βThe terms of a potential voluntary departure program remain subject to negotiation with employee representatives. No final agreement has been reached, and we wonβt comment on specific proposals while discussions are ongoing.β Game File is a reader-supported publication.

Subscribe Item 2: Epicβs AI adventures Epic Games (Fortnite, the Unreal engine) is all-in on using AI to try to transform the way it makes video games and game-making tools. Itβs leaders appear to be undeterred by any resistance among gamers and some game developers around generative AIβand instead emboldened by advances, particularly in AI-assisted programming. A recap of the last three days: On Monday, Bloomberg reported that Epic management told workers last week that development of an upcoming game combining Star Wars and Marvel characters would be βAI first.β Employees would be expected to use AI models such as Claude to code the game. A manager told Epicβs developers there would be β[n]o more hand-written codeβ and that art for the game would be βgenerated with full AI workflows,β per the outlet. Just ahead of that story running, Epic founder Tim Sweeney tweeted: βWe have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration. The aim isnβt to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.β In a follow-up, Sweeney predicted that most game development processes would be at least three times faster a year from now than they were in January 2026, thanks to AI. To a person on X who told him he was failing to read the room, Sweeney said: βMuch of the room wants it to be 2016 again, but itβs not. Our job, as the provider of tools and technology to much of the industry, is to design for the present that is and the future that will soon be.β On Wednesday, Epic announced it was releasing a faster launcher for its Epic Games Store marketplace. It did so by stating in a blog post as clear as could be that the launcher is an AI-enabled, vibe-coded project: Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher thatβs way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look. Programming is hard? That was unexpected phrasing from a company founded by a legendarily great programmer. Back in 2011, Sweeney told me that heβd picked up programming quickly as a kid and rejoiced at the power it gave him. βI could look at any program that anybody else had written and, with enough effort, build something cooler.β Item 3: The Xbox Labs experiment (and one of the people behind it) Microsoftβs Xbox division, which is flooding the zone with announcements lately, yesterday revealed a new internal tech-tinkering team called Xbox Labs. In the words of Xbox boss Asha Sharma Labs is βa small group of game makers, engineers and scientists whose job is to turn emerging ideas into things our players and developers can experience.β Conventional wisdom coming out of the announcement is that Labs is a team thatβll focus on ideas driven by generative AI. In her announcement, Sharma cited some of the dizzying achievements in tech and gaming over the past month as AI agents and other AI tools have been deployed to swiftly figure out how popular games work, then rebuild them and mix them up. She mentioned seeing βgames rapidly decompiled and rebuilt to run on hardware they were never originally designed to supportβ and said β[p]erhaps more surprisingly, weβve seen many of the biggest games in the world have been remixed into the source code of another.β (Minecraft plus Elden Ring, for example, or Fortnite + Super Monkey Ball + Overwatch + Diablo + others.) Sharma also cited the work of Windows PC games being ported to run in browsers, a seeming reference to a recent AI-assisted fan port of Halo. Or perhaps Call of Duty or GTA. Sharma didnβt use the specific term βAIβ in her memo, but she came close, citing AI βagentsβ and their potential for game-making tools that Labs could help craft: I think XBOX has an important role to play here. Coding became the first major workload for agents because they can write, run, and test software. Games share many of those same properties, and people spend more than 72 billion hours a year playing XBOX games, roughly five times the estimated time spent writing code worldwide. Weβve spent 25 years learning how to make great games, and I want our game makers to help shape what these new technologies make possible. As we learn, weβll share the tools we build with developers across the industry, just as we always have. When I asked an Xbox rep if Labs was an AI-centric team, they said genAI was not the focus, describing it as having a broader mandate for using new tech in new ways in gaming. As an example, they pointed to Xboxβs recently launched disc-to-digital gaming usage rights program. Microsoft didnβt specifically name anyone involved full-time in Xbox Labs yesterday, but on social media and LinkedIn, I spotted Adrian Mato IDing himself as leading the creatio of tools at Labs and talking up the launch. Mato first caught my attention in late September, when he said on X that he was βstarting to build a new team at Xbox focused on products and tools for how games get built and distributed as agentic tools become more capable.β At the time, he framed AI-based tools as a supplement to traditional game dev tools. βI donβt think we need to replace them,β he said. Since then, heβs publicly shown interest in AI and in games. Heβs recently spent some of his X feed marveling at the power of AI agents and praising the lighting in the latest Gears of War. Following the Labs announcement yesterday, he enthused about the Xbox Labsβ stylish landing page. He wrote: βWe built some fun tools to art-direct shaders in real time, experimented with interactive ASCII art, and sprinkled in lots of tiny details. βMove your mouse to leave a colorful trail that reveals the original footage, or interact with the video to trigger bursts of particles. βA lot of love went into making it all feel just right. βMore to comeβ
