Ubisoft laying off 55 roles at Massive and Ubisoft Stockholm as cost-cutting continues

Ubisoft has announced staff cuts at its Swedish studios, with 55 jobs expected to be lost at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm.

The news follows the announcement of a voluntary redundancy program in 2025, which GamesIndustry.biz understands had some takeup, but “additional steps” were deemed necessary following a “mapping of the future roadmap.”

Massive will continue to work on The Division franchise and its expansions, with development continuing on The DIvision 3. The studios also develop the Snowdrop engine, used for other Ubisoft titles including Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar and the upcoming Splinter Cell title being developed at Ubisoft Toronto.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
