- EA has reportedly laid off an undisclosed number of staff at its Battlefield studios.
- They have officially informed the employees that it’s part of a realignment across the studios.
- After an explosive launch, Battlefield 6 hasn’t been doing too well in recent months.
Battlefield 6 promised a massive return for the franchise after many underwhelming years. It certainly did so with an explosive launch that even beat Call of Duty’s highest-ever CCU. However, months later, the game has fallen off drastically.
Now, according to a new report, EA has laid off an undisclosed number of employees across its multiple Battlefield teams, which include Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, as Battlefield 6 continues to struggle.
Why it matters: EA says that the measure has been taken as part of a realignment across Battlefield studios. However, despite its initial success, people are worried this could be due to the steep slope the latest release has fallen down.
IGN has learned that the layoffs have been made across different Battlefield teams. This is a rather strange move, considering Battlefield 6 was released in October 2025 and was claimed to be the best-selling shooter game of the year.
However, EA claims all this is due to realignment across its studios, but based on the initial success, this move will receive a lot of backlash. However, the current state of Battlefield 6 must be a worrying sign for them.
At launch, it had Mostly Positive reviews on Steam, which have fallen to Mixed now. It is averaging just around 50-60k players, despite initially averaging over 400K. Even the new season update couldn’t pull it back up.
