Ubisoft Proposes Voluntary Departures Affecting About 100 Staff Across Three German Studios

Ubisoft is proposing a voluntary departure plan that could affect about 100 employees across its three German studios in Düsseldorf, Berlin and Mainz. Company representatives say the voluntary plan is the primary measure being proposed to support intended organizational changes and that terms are still being negotiated with employee representatives; no final agreement has been reached and the company has not confirmed exact numbers. Sources indicate Ubisoft Düsseldorf — the largest of the three studios with over 400 employees — would account for more than half of the reductions. The article notes prior, separate layoffs last year and earlier studio closures this year as background but the current proposal concerns a planned voluntary departure affecting roughly 100 roles in Germany.

Ubisoft cut 100 jobs affecting its development team as of July 1, 2026.

That is roughly 0.6% of the 18,000 people Ubisoft employs.
