The unending deluge of cuts across the gaming industry doesn't appear to be slowing down, with video game development company Virtuos the latest to undergo layoffs.
After first being shared by reporter Gauthier Andres on Bluesky, Virtuos confirmed the layoffs to Eurogamer, affirming that around 270 workers were being cut from the company's teams, which amounts to about 7% of the company's global workforce.
According to Virtuos, about 200 jobs in Asia have been affected, with another 70 from various European teams, with fewer than 10 cut in France.
With headquarters in Singapore, Virtuos employs around 4,000 workers in studios around the globe. The company is known for providing support work on numerous titles, aiding the development of games like Hogwarts Legacy and Mortal Kombat 1.
More recently, Virtuos partnered with Bethesda Game Studios to lead development of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, which (as of May) is the second best-selling game of the year in the U.S.
Virtuos is also co-developing patches for Cyberpunk 2077, aiding CD Projekt RED in working on the recent 2.3 update that saw new features brought to the game, such as AutoDriving.
Additionally, the company is co-developing the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater with a team at Konami, with the remake slated to launch in August.
