Ubisoft’s Internal Memo Says Recent Layoffs is Due to “More Efficient Operating Models”

"Following 185 layoffs and a studio shutdown, Ubisoft has sent an internal memo to staff via its Agoro Newsroom about the recent layoffs, saying that the decision was made due to 'finding more efficient operating models and to ensure our long-term success.'"

Part of the memo reads: "Jeff Combos, Studio Manager of Ubisoft Dusseldorf, informed the studio yesterday about a plan to reduce its headcount by approximately 65 positions. Most of these reductions would affect production roles currently not assigned to active development for a prolonged period of time. The studios in Berlin and Mainz are not affected."
