Unity has announced another round of layoffs as part of "important organizational changes"

It appears that Unity has executed another phase of staffing reductions.

Employees at Unity report that the team responsible for the visual software Behavior, along with various designers and artists, has been affected by these cuts.

An internal email, reportedly shared within Unity and reviewed by 80.lv, from Chief Revenue Officer Matthew Bromberg discussed "significant organizational shifts," mainly impacting the CTO, Engine Product, and Ads departments. He noted these changes align with Unity's strategic future direction.

The exact number of employees affected remains unknown. Bromberg indicated that those whose positions are terminated or who are entering a consultation phase would be informed within the next few days, and that all notifications should be delivered by the end of the day on February 12.

Unity has planned Town Hall meetings to discuss its future in cities including Montreal, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, Seoul, Tokyo, and San Francisco, starting with Montreal on February 12.

Due to Unity’s global presence across various time zones, notifications were sent concurrently, resulting in staff on the West coast being notified of their layoffs at 5 a.m.

Peter Row, a senior technical artist, expressed his experiences on LinkedIn, stating he and many skilled colleagues were laid off. Despite the challenging news, he appreciated the nearly three years at the company, during which he enhanced his skills and built lasting relationships. However, he criticized the way Unity communicated the layoffs, highlighting the early morning email from 'noreply@unity' felt abrupt and impersonal, urging the company to improve its employee treatment during such difficult times.

In January 2024, Unity declared another set of job cuts as part of a restructuring effort, which resulted in 1,800 positions being eliminated.

Within 2025, it has been reported that over 845 developers were laid off, with significant reductions and closures at companies including Freejam, Splash Damage, Piranha Games, Jar of Sparks, along with reductions at Ubisoft, ProbablyMonsters, Iron Galaxy, and Sumo Group.
