Unions representing Ubisoft employees in France have voted unanimously to hold a strike from February 10 to 12, 2026, all to protest recent layoffs and the restructuring of the company.
Shortly after canceling and postponing games, Ubisoft recently announced a major reorganization plan, including studio closures and job cuts, notably up to 200 proposed layoffs at its Paris headquarters, as part of efforts to reduce costs.
