Bungie is seeking to sublease approximately 211,000 square feet of its headquarters in Bellevue, Washington. The facility includes specialized amenities such as motion capture studios, audio suites, and gaming test rooms. The company stated the decision reflects a transition to a “digital-first” model and evolving workplace needs following years of remote collaboration, though it intends to maintain a physical presence at the site. This move follows significant workforce reductions and organizational instability. Following Sony’s acquisition of the studio, Bungie has undergone multiple restructurings and layoffs, including a reduction of 292 employees in June 2026. Reports indicate the workforce has shrunk from approximately 1,600 employees to around 500. These changes occur amid challenges regarding the performance of the ‘Destiny’ series, lower player engagement for the ‘Marathon’ project, and reports that several games in development may have been canceled.
