裁员背景涉及Netflix调整游戏战略，关闭多个内部工作室并终止部分收购项目，如Squid Game: Unleashed开发团队。
Nearly 60 Netflix Games staff appear to have been caught up in the streaming giant’s recent round of layoffs.
A Google Sheet titled
NFLX Games Talent Network
, shared on
LinkedIn
, names 57 people who held games roles at Netflix and are looking for new jobs.
Netflix cut around 6% of its workforce on October 14, as first reported by
The Wall Street Journal
. Product, technology, legal and HR teams were hit hardest. The company has not said how many games staff were affected.
The cuts follow mass layoffs at Refactor, the studio behind the Netflix-exclusive FIFA World Cup tie-in game, with reports at the time suggesting that up to 85% of staff had lost their jobs.
Netflix then shuttered LA-based Oxenfree maker Night School and Helsinki studio Moonloot
, and cut other roles across its internal games teams.
Netflix also
acquired,
then
closed,
Boss Fight Studios, whose most recent project was free to play Fall Guys-like party platformer
Squid Game: Unleashed
. It also
bought indie puzzle studio Spry Fox
back in 2022, only for the studio to
go independent again
back in December 2025.
And perhaps most notoriously it
set up
, then
closed
a triple-A game development studio packed with big-name talent.
Netflix has also seen its fair share of strategy and exec changes; in 2024 former
Epic Games exec Alain Tascan

former Netflix games boss Mike Verdu
, who was hired to
kickstart Netflix’s gaming efforts
back in 2021.
Netflix is due to report its
