Eidos Montreal becomes first AAA studio to adopt a 4-day workweek

Eidos Montreal announced today it is shifting to a four-day work week. It’s keeping its eight-hour schedule, meaning its full-time employees will now work 32 hours a week.

According to the company’s announcement, the change will go into effect both for the Montreal location and for Eidos-Sherbrooke, a separate research and development studio. Starting in the next few weeks, both locations will close on Fridays, meaning employees will now work from Monday through Thursday. However, some reports state that this will only apply to full-time employees, rather than contract workers.
