Ubisoft laid off 29 employees at its Abu Dhabi mobile studio in November 2025 as part of a restructuring effort. The company discontinued several projects to focus exclusively on Growtopia, a free-to-play MMO acquired in 2017. This follows recent layoffs at Massive Entertainment, Ubisoft Stockholm, and the closure of Ubisoft Halifax, as the company undergoes broader organizational changes including the formation of Creative Houses.
