2024 has left us more tan 14,600 redundancies in 2024
, by Thibaut
As 2024 draws to a close, the video game industry is left with a sad reality. We now have an approximate figure of the redundancies that have occurred over the last twelve months.
In fact, more tan 14,600 people lost their jobs in 2024. This number is surely even bigger, given that some companies haven't communicated the precise number of people made redundant.
Between Activision Blizzard and Xbox alone, Microsoft Gaming takes the top spot with 2,550 redundancies. Unity comes in second place with 1,800, and Sony takes third with 1,120 people affected between its PlayStation Studios (900) and Bungie (220).
2023 left us with 10,500 redundancies, and 2022 approximately 8,500.
