Trouble continues to brew at Starbreeze Studios. Reports are surfacing today that the Stockholm-based developer behind Payday 3 has initiated a new round of staff reductions. While the studio has yet to release an official corporate statement, the news broke via social media as affected employees began posting "Open to Work" updates on LinkedIn. This comes as a heavy blow to the team still working to stabilize Payday 3 after its rocky launch. Former developers describe a somber atmosphere, with talent across various departments being let go. It’s another grim chapter in the ongoing industry-wide contraction, raising serious questions about the future support roadmap for the heist shooter. We are monitoring Starbreeze’s official channels for confirmation on the scale of these cuts.
