It is reported that all Kuaishou Beijing Game Division has been laid off, and 40 people have been laid off.

DoNews reported on April 30 that according to Jinghe reports, Kuaishou officially dissolved the Kuaishou Beijing Game Division in March, and only a few people were transferred to other project teams, such as Lin Yancheng, the head of the Kuaishou Beijing Game Division. The scale of layoffs this time is close to 30-40 people, mainly members of the "Codename: Beisan" card project team.

It is understood that the trigger for this layoff was the substandard test data of "Codename: Beisan". The above situation is also in line with the standards for most game companies to cut projects. That is, if the business department has profitable projects, it will have one or two trial and error opportunities. If the business department has no profitable projects, it will be abolished as a whole.

Since its establishment, the Beijing Game Division has launched "Journey to the West: Burning Soul" and tested "Codename: Beisan" in July 2023. The former took more than three years to develop and cost hundreds of millions, but the cost was not recovered. It is reported that within two to three months after the project was launched, nearly 70 people in the middle office of the Beijing Game Division were laid off.

Going forward, there was the wave of layoffs in early 2023. At that time, the Beijing Game Division had less than a hundred people. Coupled with the wave of layoffs in March 2024, it can be said that Kuaishou’s Beijing Game Division has been adjusting in the past two years and will eventually be abolished as a whole.

With the Beijing business unit disappearing from Kuaishou’s self-developed game business structure, Kuaishou’s self-developed games now form a dual structure of the Yangtze River Delta Game Business Unit and the Pearl River Delta Business Unit.
