Bungie announces mass layoffs, 220 roles to be “eliminated”

As a long-time fan and follower of Bungie, this news has left me both saddened and concerned. Having spent countless hours immersed in their intricate universes, I feel a deep connection to the talented individuals who bring these worlds to life. To learn that 220 of them are leaving feels like losing a part of my gaming community.


220 positions at Bungie have been officially declared as redundant, which equates to approximately 17% of their total workforce.

The announcement was posted on Bungie’s website, with CEO Pete Parsons heralding it.

Today is a challenging and emotive day, particularly for those colleagues who are leaving us, all of whom have significantly enriched Bungie with their invaluable work. Our priority is to treat them with the utmost compassion and dignity. For anyone impacted by this downsizing, we will be extending a thoughtful severance package, which includes severance pay, bonus, and healthcare coverage.
