Refactor studio experienced a severe workforce reduction following the withdrawal of financial support by investor Delphi Interactive. Approximately 80 workers—constituting roughly 85 percent of the company—lost their positions on July 31, just weeks after the June release of FIFA World Cup: Launch Edition for Netflix. The abrupt funding cut left departing staff without severance compensation, catching employees by surprise.

Despite generating modest critical attention, the Netflix football game reportedly performed well relative to other cloud gaming titles on the platform. The studio's future remains uncertain, though management has expressed hopes of bringing back some former employees for ongoing projects. Refactor's existing portfolio includes Football Simulator, a Madden-style competitor that has remained in early access on Steam since 2022.
