Epic Games mentioned on Tuesday it might lay off more than 1,000 staff as it cuts prices after a pointy fall in usage of its flagship sport, Fortnite.
Chief Executive Tim Sweeney informed staff the corporate had been spending “significantly more than we’re making” since usage of the sport started to decline in 2025.
He mentioned the layoffs, together with more than $500 million in financial savings from cuts to contracting and advertising and from leaving roles unfilled, would cut back prices.
