- Ubisoft is proposing to cut 200 jobs at its Paris headquarters.
- This move is a cost-reduction measure from the company.
- A recent report also reveals that the French publisher will soon layoff 2000 employees across all studios.
2026 was finally looking to be the year when Ubisoft would make its long-overdue comeback. Unfortunately, the publisher had other plans, announcing a major strategic reset and that would now operate under a new model.
Unfortunately, many employees will not be a part of the company’s new vision. As such, Ubisoft has already begun considering layoffs across its workforce, including 200 jobs at its headquarters in Paris.
Why it matters: The gaming industry is in its most uncertain conditions, and layoffs are continuing, especially at Ubisoft, which has downsized significantly over the past few years.
Speaking with IGN, a spokesperson for Ubisoft said they’re ‘considering’ cutting 200 jobs at their headquarters in Paris via the Rupture Conventionnelle Collective (RCC) law mechanism, which allows employees to leave voluntarily under a mutual termination agreement.
In line with last week’s announcements on its new operating model and the acceleration of cost-reduction initiatives, Ubisoft International has initiated discussions regarding a potential Rupture Conventionnelle Collective, a collective, voluntary mutual termination agreement that could involve up to 200 positions at its headquarters in France – Ubisoft Spokesperson
For reference, the Paris office has 1,100 jobs overall, and this 200-staff reduction would mean they’re laying off nearly 20% of the total employee count. Furthermore, it is notable to mention that it is just a proposal at this point, and it would have to be validated by the French authorities.
Still, layoffs are pretty evident following Ubisoft’s restructuring last week. For those unfamiliar, the French-based video game company shut down two studios, cancelled 6 titles, including the Sands of Time remake, and delayed 7 upcoming projects.
In a following report from that event, it was revealed that the company aims to cut 2000 jobs altogether following their new cost-cutting measure, aiming to save £200 Million over the next couple of years.
