EA Implements Layoffs at Codemasters Amid Organizational Changes

The move follows commercial struggles of recent releases and is part of a wider trend of staffing cuts in the gaming industry.

Electronic Arts (EA) has laid off an unspecified number of employees at UK-based racing game developer Codemasters.
The layoffs are attributed to 'small-scale organizational changes' aimed at aligning teams and resources to meet evolving business needs and priorities.
EA acquired Codemasters for $1.2 billion in 2021, with the aim of becoming 'the home of racing games'.
Codemasters' recent releases, F1 2023 and EA Sports WRC, have reportedly struggled commercially.
The layoffs are part of a wider trend in the gaming industry, with numerous companies making significant staffing cuts in 2023.
