Ubisoft Plans Cuts to 55 Roles at Massive and Ubisoft Stockholm in Restructure

Ubisoft says a finished voluntary-leave effort with a finalized roadmap clarified staffing needs.

Overview

  • The company informed staff in Malmö and Stockholm of a proposed organizational change that may affect about 55 roles across Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm.
  • Ubisoft described the action as forward-looking and structural rather than performance-based, with a process starting via individual agreements under local regulations.
  • Core work continues on The Division franchise, including ongoing updates to The Division 2 and development of The Division 3, alongside Snowdrop engine and Ubisoft Connect responsibilities.
  • An unannounced tech-focused project remains in progress at the Swedish studios, and reporting indicates Ubisoft Stockholm’s separate new franchise uses the Scalar cloud technology.
  • The move follows a late-2025 voluntary redundancy program that reportedly fell short of targets and comes days after Ubisoft closed its Halifax studio, part of wider cost-cutting tied to a broader reorganization.
