Ubisoft Strike Ends With Turnout Dispute as Unions Mull Next Steps

Unions say leadership is ignoring worker concerns over the restructuring.

Overview

  • The three-day international walkout ran February 10–12, with unions reporting at least 1,200 participants, mostly in France with activity in Milan.
  • Ubisoft challenged the unions’ figure, stating that 538 employees declared themselves on strike this week.
  • The action targeted January’s organizational reset that closed studios, canceled six games, delayed projects, and imposed a five-day in-office requirement.
  • In France, Ubisoft is using a Rupture Conventionnelle Collective process that proposes up to about 200 voluntary departures at its Paris headquarters.
  • Ubisoft says it has held information sessions and remains open to dialogue, while unions contend management is not listening and are weighing further mobilization or legal action.
