Humble Games confirms 'restructuring' amid reports all staff have been laid off

Humble Games, the publishing division of digital storefront Humble Bundle, says it has “made the difficult but necessary decision to restructure our operations” amid reports it has laid off all staff, but insists it is “not shutting down”.

Humble Games was formed in 2017, and has gone on to publish a significant number of acclaimed titles, including Stray Gods, Signalis, Slay the Spire, A Hat in Time, and Eurogamer’s Game of the Year in 2021, Unpacking.

Earlier today, however, several Humble Games employees took to social media with reports of layoffs at the company. “At 9AM this morning,” business development manager Nicola Kwan wrote in a post on LinkedIn, “36 employees of Humble Games were told that we were being let go and that the company is shutting down”.
