Epic Games Hit With Mass Layoffs

The recent layoffs at Epic Games are strikingly similar to those that happened in 2023, when the company cut 16% of its workforce – impacting hundreds of employees. Back then, CEO Tim Sweeney explained that the cuts were necessary because the company was spending more money than it was earning and needed to stabilize the business. Epic restructured, choosing to concentrate on key areas like Fortnite and Unreal Engine. The reasons given for these new cuts are almost exactly the same.
