NaturalMotion faces potential UK staff layoffs

NaturalMotion layoffs

NaturalMotion, a developer owned by Zynga, is expected to lay off an unknown number of staff across its studios in the US and UK. Sources have informed that job cuts have already begun, with the company shutting down its racing-focused studio in Birmingham. When reached for comment, Zynga confirmed that it is currently reviewing its UK and US teams, which “may impact a number of roles.” A spokesperson provided a statement saying that as part of their effort to operate efficiently, they have made the difficult decision to review their operations which could lead to job cuts in these regions.

The spokesperson added, “We believe these changes will help to ensure that the studio is sustainable for the long term and aligned with our future development needs. Importantly, we do not anticipate any disruptions in service to our players during this transition, and we will work closely with affected employees to ensure they are treated with the utmost consideration, respect, and care.”

NaturalMotion’s parent company, Zynga, is itself owned by Take-Two.

Earlier this year, Take-Two announced it expected to lay off 5% of its employees by the end of the year, which would amount to approximately 580 people. For further updates, stay tuned.
