1047 Games, the studio that developed Splitgate 2, recently announced job cuts that affected several employees shortly after the game’s official rollout on June 6 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.

The company had a busy few weeks with the game’s open beta launch on May 22 followed by its full release. Splitgate 2 experienced a significant increase in player count, tripling its user base compared to its beta days. Despite this promising start, the developer proceeded with layoffs, aligning with a wider trend of job reductions seen across the industry.

In a LinkedIn message, 1047 Games mentioned letting go of “a small group” of employees, stating it aims to allocate resources effectively to enhance the player experience further. Co-founders Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian announced they would forgo their salaries during this transitional period. The company is committed to assisting the laid-off personnel in finding new jobs while reinforcing its long-term dedication to Splitgate 2, emphasizing the need to keep collaborating closely with community feedback.
