Mountaintop Studios Lays Off 13 Developers Weeks After Spectre Divide Launch

The decision aims to ensure long-term support for the newly released tactical shooter and its community.

Mountaintop Studios has laid off 13 employees to support the long-term future of their game, Spectre Divide.
The layoffs come just 22 days after the free-to-play 3v3 tactical shooter launched on September 3.
Spectre Divide, promoted by popular streamer shroud, has received mixed reviews on Steam, partly due to initial high prices on in-game cosmetics.
Despite a peak of over 30,000 concurrent players, the game has faced challenges including server issues and declining player counts.
These layoffs contribute to a larger trend of job cuts in the gaming industry, which has seen significant reductions across multiple studios in 2024.
