Ubisoft has shut down its Winnipeg and Belgrade studios as part of a broader cost-cutting plan that could impact up to 380 employees across the company.
The latest cuts expand an ongoing restructuring effort that has already led to layoffs in San Francisco, Abu Dhabi, Paris, Halifax, Toronto, and Sweden.
Employees at Ubisoft Winnipeg were informed during a management meeting on June 10, 2026, that the studio was being shut down, with around 65 roles reportedly cut.
The closure has also triggered internal project shifts, with roughly 120 developers being moved off Rainbow Six Siege and another 50 reassigned from Rainbow Six Siege Mobile and an unannounced title.
Sources reported that those moves are not additional layoffs.
