More than 10,000 people have been made redundant in the video game industry in 2024
, by Thibaut
The gaming industry is going through a really dark age. We have learned that 10,100 professionals have been laid off since the beginning of January.
The sad record of 2023, when 10,500 people were made redundant, will most likely be beaten in the coming weeks. Activision Blizzard takes first place with 1,900 redundancies, Unity comes second (1,800) and PlayStation Studios third (900).
Next we find Electronic Arts (670) and Take-Two Interactive (600). Note that some of those numbers are an approximate. Across all its divisions, Microsoft Gaming is unfortunately far ahead, with at least 2,150 employees dismissed.
