Battlefield Studios Hit With Layoffs Months After Successful Battlefield 6 Launch

Battlefield 6

EA has laid off an unknown number of employees across the various teams that make up Battlefield Studios, which recently launched Battlefield 6 last year, IGN reports.

According to IGN’s Rebekah Valentine, staff members from Dice, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios were let go as part of what EA calls a “realignment.” These teams will remain operational as they continue supporting Battlefield 6, which was the best-selling game of 2025 in the US and the best launch in franchise history.

When asked to specify the number of employees and roles affected by these cuts, an EA spokesperson told IGN, “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."

Game Informer Battlefield 6

Since its launch, Battlefield 6 has received a battle royale mode and other updates, with EA publishing a three-month content roadmap last month following a delay of its Season 2 launch. The layoffs also come a few months after the untimely death of Battlefield head Vince Zampella in a car accident last December. 

Today's news marks the first instance of mass layoffs at EA this year. 2025 saw the publisher shut down Cliffhanger Games and cancel its in-development Black Panther game, and lay off 100 employees at Apex Legends developer, Respawn Entertainment. In 2024, EA cut over 650 jobs company-wide. EA is currently in the process of being acquired for $55 billion by an investor group comprised of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners that will take the company private.
