"We've made select changes within our Battlefield organization to better align our teams around what matters most to our community. Battlefield remains one of our biggest priorities, and we're continuing to invest in the franchise, guided by player feedback and insights from Battlefield Labs."
"Layoffs at Battlefield Studios come despite the massive success of Battlefield 6. The first-person shooter was reportedly the best-selling game of 2025 in US, beating rival Call of Duty. Battlefield 6 is estimated to have sold over 20 million copies."
"Days after the Battlefield 6's launch in October 2025, EA called the game a 'record breaking success' and confirmed it was one of the 'biggest gaming and entertainment launches of the year.' The shooter had the biggest opening in Battlefield franchise history, selling over 7 million units in three days of launch."
Electronic Arts is conducting layoffs across its Battlefield Studios, which includes Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios. The layoffs occur despite Battlefield 6's record-breaking commercial success, making it the best-selling game of 2025 in the US and surpassing Call of Duty. The game sold over 20 million copies with 7 million units in its first three days. EA stated the reorganization aims to better align teams around community priorities while maintaining Battlefield as a major franchise priority. The company did not disclose the number of affected workers, though all four studios will remain operational. Despite strong initial sales and concurrent player numbers exceeding 700,000 on Steam, the game has struggled with player retention in the competitive live service market.
