EA Lays Off Employees in Battlefield Studios

Sad news continues to emerge from the gaming world. Electronic Arts has initiated a widespread wave of layoffs across Battlefield studios to “realign” the studio structure as the live-service process for Battlefield 6 continues to evolve. According to reports, employees from Criterion , DICE , Ripple Effect , and Motive teams have been affected.

According to this development, shared and confirmed by IGN, the exact number of laid-off developers is not yet known. However, many teams across different offices forming the Battlefield studio group appear to be directly affected by this situation.

Battlefield Teams Shaken by Layoffs

Although Battlefield 6 initially achieved significant success, its player count began to drop sharply in the weeks following its release in October 2025. Expectations for the game were quite high, seen as a savior for the series’ revival. Unfortunately, as months passed, the game’s development did not yield the anticipated strong results.

IGN’s latest report unveiled the curtain on this wave of layoffs affecting the entire studio network supporting the Battlefield series. We contacted Electronic Arts and the relevant studios to get clearer information on the matter.

In February, it was revealed that Battlefield 6 developers were concerned about the game’s roadmap. The teams were aware of how critical each new update released was for the future of the game.

In late 2025, EA shareholders approved a $55 billion colossal sales agreement envisioning the company’s acquisition by a consortium including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). Shortly after this development, the gaming world was shaken by the news that Vince Zampella , the head of the Battlefield series, had tragically died in a traffic accident.
