Starbreeze’s CEO, Tobias Sjogren, is no longer with the company following the troubled launch of Payday 3 and its ongoing issues attracting and retaining players.
Starbreeze said in a news release that the company has assigned board member Juergen Goeldner to become interim CEO immediately as the company seeks a permanent CEO to replace Sjogren. Goeldner has been in the video game industry for 40 years and was previously the CEO of Focus Home. He has been on Starbreeze’s board since 2023.
Chairman of the board, Torgny Hellstrom, said Starbreeze now has a “clear strategy” focused on its own franchises and its licensed games. The board decided to replace Sjogren as CEO after conducting a “consolidated assessment” to reach its ambitions, the company said.
