Netflix Cuts Staff at Oxenfree Developer Night School Studio

The layoffs come as Netflix reorganizes its gaming division, though current projects remain unaffected.

Netflix-owned Night School Studio, known for the Oxenfree series, has laid off an undisclosed number of employees.
The layoffs reportedly came as a surprise to staff when announced in January, with Netflix declining to comment on the matter.
Sources indicate that the studio's current game development projects will not be impacted by the staff reductions.
The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring of Netflix's gaming division, which has included the cancellation of six games and the closure of its triple-A studio in late 2024.
Netflix continues to explore its gaming ambitions, offering over 80 mobile titles and experimenting with generative AI to accelerate game development.
