Ubisoft Paris has more than 50 people working in Human Resources, Finance, Documentation, Workplace, IT and Communication. They work every day to offer the best support to productions. At the heart of the studio’s strategy, their roles are critical in the projects’ success and our teams’ well-being.
Together, several teams bring their expertise to creating our games, such as the User Research Lab, our Video & Mocap Shooting Studio, Player Analytics, and Quality service.
Our shooting studio (also known as “Carnot Studio”) meets Ubisoft’s production teams’ filming needs, from all over Europe!
In this 1000m2 building, we can shoot videos on a green background or a white background and mocap sequences. With three different film sets and state-of-the-art technology, The Carnot team records Just Dance’s choreographies and many action scenes for other games such as Ghost Recon Breakpoint!
The User Research Lab is built around the belief that knowing, understanding, and analyzing our players’ feedback is essential to deliver rich and exciting gaming experiences. Within Ubisoft, 15 User Research teams exist in the world. In Paris, more than 20 Projects Managers, User Research Analysts, and technical experts organize an average of 300 user tests per year and regularly exchange with production teams to support gaming experiences in the studio.
However, user research goes further today in tackling many other topics such as optimizing machine performance and game inclusivity!
