约60名 Netflix 游戏员工受全公司裁员影响

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

Netflix is due to report its third-quarter results on October 20.
