Embracer’s Restructuring Efforts: Shrinking and Layoffs Across Acquired Studios, including Pinball FX and Zen Studios

Embracer has been shrinking lately. After years of growth and continued acquisitions, the massive publisher became too big to bring its own and now has been shuttering developers and laying off employees as part of a restructuring effort. Recently, we’ve seen Embracer close Saints Row’s Volition Games, Campfire Cabal, studios from Crystal Dynamics, Gearbox, Beamdog and now Pinball FX, and Zen Studios is joining the list. According to Videogamelayoffs (thank you, Gamesindustry.biz), it was noted that community manager Adam Dienes was one of the individuals released, out of a total of 32 employees laid off by the company. Embracer acquired Zen Studios back in 2020, becoming part of the Saber Interactive family of developers.
