Digital Bros Group, perhaps best-known in the video game industry as the owner of publisher 505 Games, which is behind the likes of Control: Ultimate Edition and Death Stranding PC, is laying off a whopping 30% of its global workforce and doubling down on sequels because that seems to be what the industry wants.
Digital Bros announced the news in a press release published earlier today. Judging from the employee reports popping up on social media, at least some of the layoffs are already in effect. It's worth reiterating the sheer, mind-boggling scope of laying off 30% of your workforce in one go. Some of the biggest and highest-profile games layoffs of the year, like those at Bungie and Epic Games, were well under 30%.
