Four were let go in Boston and five in Poland, while nine others have been invited to apply for roles on other CDPR projects. The layoffs bring the Sirius team down to roughly 65, after it had grown to 83 by April 2026. This follows a larger 2023 layoff of 29 developers tied to a change in the project's framework. By comparison, 513 people are working on The Witcher 4. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
