Bungie Is Subleasing Its Massive 211,000 Sq Ft Bellevue HQ After Mass Layoffs

Bungie has confirmed plans to sublease approximately 210,984 square feet of its headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, a striking reversal from just a few years ago when the studio dramatically expanded its office footprint. The company says it is "exploring options" for the space and insists it "will continue to maintain a physical office presence in Bellevue," but the move is widely seen as a direct consequence of the heavy layoffs that have battered the studio in recent years, particularly those tied to Destiny 2's troubled development period.

The decision to offload such a significant portion of its campus underscores just how dramatically Bungie's fortunes have shifted. The studio invested heavily in a major 2021 office expansion, building out a sprawling and reportedly opulent headquarters meant to accommodate a growing workforce. That growth story has since reversed course sharply, leaving Bungie with far more physical space than its current headcount requires. With the future of Destiny 3 and other projects uncertain, subleasing the bulk of its HQ marks yet another sobering chapter for the once-celebrated developer.
