About
Take-Two Interactive is shutting down its mobile gaming studio Playdots, resulting in 65 layoffs effective January 2023. The closure is part of a strategic shift following Take-Two's acquisition of Zynga, as the company refocuses its mobile efforts on leveraging major franchises like Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K. While the popular puzzle game Two Dots will continue to be supported by another Zynga studio, the future of other Playdots titles, such as the recently launched Garden Tails on Apple Arcade, remains uncertain. Playdots, which was acquired by Take-Two in 2020 for $192 million, will see affected employees offered opportunities to apply for roles within Zynga, with severance available for those who do not transition.
