    Three months after Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced launched, Ubisoft laid off 70 people at developer Ubisoft Singapore.

Ubisoft is also closing Redlynx, founded in 2000 and acquired in 2011, best known for the Trials games; a VGC report says the studio was not working on anything else and downsizing would not make it sustainable.

    Ubisoft restructuring plan proposes closing Trials developer RedLynx and cutting 72 jobs at Ubisoft Singapore

Ubisoft Singapore is projected to lose as much as 20% of its workforce; founded in 2008, it assisted on several Assassin's Creed games and led development on Skull and Bones.

    Garry's Mod creator Garry Newman apologizes for s&box, says it goes free-to-play by year's end

    Garry Newman, creator of Garry's Mod, apologized in an official blog post for the performance of Facepunch's s&box, saying he is ashamed and embarrassed by its reviews and that selling it as an engine and development experience was the core mistake. Since its April release, s&box has sat at 47 percent positive reviews on Steam with roughly 500 daily players, while Garry's Mod still draws nearly 30,000 concurrent players a day. He plans to bring the sandbox mode to parity with Garry's Mod and beyond with more NPCs, vehicles and first-class multiplayer, drop Facepunch's own backend for Steam Workshop, and move the game from $10 to free-to-play before the end of the year, with existing buyers receiving exclusive Steam inventory items.

    Rockstar set up a dedicated Los Angeles studio to make GTA 6 NPCs

    Rockstar Games reportedly established an entire Los Angeles studio dedicated to creating NPCs for Grand Theft Auto 6. Development lead Rob Nelson told Bloomberg the team had struggled to hit its targets for the number of NPCs to be written and animated, calling the projections horrifying, and this was a major reason for the first GTA 6 delay. The studio is staffed with writers, producers, and directors focused only on the game's NPCs, while GTA 6 has been in production for more than eight years and moved from 2025 to May 2026 and then to November 19, 2026.

    Ubisoft Proposes Closing RedLynx Studio and Cutting 70 Roles at Ubisoft Singapore

    Ubisoft announced a proposal to close Finnish studio Ubisoft RedLynx, the long-time developer of the Trials motorbike stunt series, which it acquired in 2011 and which has a 25-year history. Ubisoft Singapore is also losing 70 positions, which the company said is to align the studio with upcoming production needs. RedLynx had already lost more than half its staff in 2025 and the remaining team was told to focus only on mobile games; according to VGC, the closure rationale is that it is not currently working on a new project and resizing alone would not keep it sustainable, affecting 52 staff. Finnish law requires change negotiations before layoffs, so Ubisoft describes the move as a proposal at this stage. The article also notes Ubisoft's share price fell from a 2018 peak of €100 to €3.84 in March 2026 and has hovered around €5 since.
