Record Breaking Battlefield 6 Sales Not Enough to Prevent Layoffs

Despite selling over seven million copies globally and being the top-selling game in the USA for 2025, Electronic Arts (EA) has announced staff reductions following the success of Battlefield 6.

IGN reports that Electronic Arts (EA) has laid off an unknown number of employees at its Battlefield Studios – including teams at EA DICE, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studio – as part of a company restructuring.

Last year’s Battlefield 6 was a major win for EA, becoming the best-selling game in the series’ history with seven million copies sold in just three days and earning the title of best-selling game in the USA for the year.
