A minimum of 1,200 employees at Ubisoft have gone on strike following a recent restructuring effort

An international work stoppage lasting three days is taking place at Ubisoft, triggered by the company's recent organizational overhaul. Yesterday, over 1,200 staff members participated.

Marc Rutschlé, who represents the Solidaires Informatique union at Ubisoft Paris, confirmed these figures to GamesIndustry.biz. He pointed out that the strike mainly occurred in France, with some involvement from Ubisoft Milan as well.

This labor action is taking place from February 10 through February 12, 2026.

The Solidaires Informatique union had already staged a demonstration on January 22. This protest was described as a consequence of "the absurdity of management's decisions." The union planned further activities, which included the ongoing strike.

On January 21, Ubisoft declared its "final" phase of cost reductions, which entailed shutting down multiple studios and cancelling six projects.

Rutschlé remarked, "At this stage, it seems clear to us that Yves Guillemot has no knowledge or understanding of his company or its employees."

He added that the firm is persisting with its cost-cutting and layoff strategy. The employees are already experiencing significant pressure and understaffing. Rutschlé noted a lack of pay raises in recent years, highlighting expectations for no salary increase this year.

Strikes also target Ubisoft's policy requiring employees to work at the office five days a week.

In September 2024, a strike involving more than 700 Ubisoft France employees occurred over this requirement, along with concerns about pay.
