For those in the London office
Splash Damage, the studio behind Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory andGears Tactics, are switching to a four-day work week for those in their London office. The change follows a Splash Damage subsidiary that successfully made the change to a four-day week in 2022.
“Splash Damage is changing the way we work,” the studioannounced on Twitter. “We’re moving to a four-day work week, on-site in our London office.” Splash Damage currently employs over 400 people, some of which are “hybrid” workers, to whom this change doesn’t apply.

Fellow UK studio and Splash Damage subsidiary Bulkhead, the developers ofBattalion 1944, switched to a four-day week for a six-month trialin February 2022. At the time Bulkhead had over 100 developers. Bulkhead are currently working alongside Splash Damage on the upcomingTransformers: Reactivate.
Several other game studios have switched to a four-day week in recent years, includingHomeworld 3 developers Blackbird Interactiveand Guardians Of The Galaxy makersEidos Montreal. It’s often pitched as an attempt to address the often wonky work-life balance of game development, and is designed to help studios to attract and retain staff.
