Ubisoft has launched a new wave of restructuring that could impact approximately 380 employees. The company informed staff of the planned changes through its internal communication channels.
According to management, the primary goals of the restructuring are to streamline operations, optimize costs, and strengthen the company’s long-term position following a recent review of its project portfolio.

The company has also begun consultations regarding the reorganization of its Barcelona studio, which is expected to shift its focus exclusively to supporting the Rainbow Six franchise. In addition, changes are being made within Ubisoft’s global publishing division to adapt team structures across key markets.

In its statement, Ubisoft emphasized that these measures do not reflect the talent, dedication, or contributions of the affected employees. Local management teams are already working with impacted staff members to answer their questions and provide the necessary support throughout the transition period.
As a reminder, CS2 recently received a small update.
