We asked Playtika to clarify how many staff were cut before the publication of this story, but the firm declined to comment. We will update this story with more detail if Playtika does comment.
Many former Playtika staff based in Poland and Israel posted about the layoffs on LinkedIn earlier today. The cuts span across development, engineering, level design, art and QA.
One source suggested that their team of over 200 is now down to around 40. Another said “at least” 80 jobs were cut in Playtika’s Polish offices alone. Contractors and staff in Israel have also been affected.
