Bungie Seeks Subletters for Its 211,000 Sq. Ft. Bellevue Campus

The move reflects Bungie’s shift to a remote‑focused studio after years of layoffs following an oversized 2021 expansion.

Overview

  • A 10‑page commercial leasing brochure reported Friday lists roughly 210,984 square feet available to sublease through 2035 and Bungie confirmed it is exploring options for the space.
  • Bungie says the decision follows a transition to a digital‑first work model and that it will keep a smaller physical office presence in Bellevue.
  • The listing markets the campus as a turn‑key production facility with motion‑capture and audio studios, playtest rooms, a gym and cafe, highlighting the high cost and specialized nature of the space.
  • The sublease bid follows years of costly expansion and post‑acquisition growth after Sony bought Bungie in 2022, plus multiple rounds of layoffs that cut the studio’s headcount by several hundred.
  • If filled, subleasing could reduce Bungie’s long‑term real estate burden under its master lease through 2035 and ease pressure on the studio’s finances while signaling a narrower operational footprint.
