Electronic Arts (EA) has confirmed it will lay off between 300 and 400 employees, including around 100 at its Respawn subsidiary, in a strategic effort to better align teams and resources. This marks EA's third round of layoffs in just over two years amidst a challenging environment for the gaming industry. Despite these cuts, the company's overall workforce of approximately 13,700 represents a decrease of less than 3%. The layoffs coincide with the decision to halt two game projects, as Respawn makes adjustments affecting popular titles like Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi.
"We are treating our people with care and respect throughout this process, working to minimize impacts by helping affected employees explore new opportunities within the company when possible and providing support during the transition."
"This cut more effectively aligns teams and allocates resources in service of driving future growth."
