In January 2025, Ubisoft experienced significant layoffs, including the complete shutdown of one studio. These cuts followed a pattern of earlier reductions in staff and projects. Ubisoft has stated these measures are necessary to improve efficiency and streamline operations. However, some find it strange that these layoffs have occurred alongside positive financial reports. Ubisoft maintains that each difficult decision is intended to secure the company’s future. Despite this, investors are now showing less confidence, as reflected in a recent drop in Ubisoft’s stock price, mirroring the concerns felt by players and the public.
