flag EA cut staff at Battlefield Studios despite Battlefield 6’s strong sales and launch success.

flag Electronic Arts has laid off an undisclosed number of employees across Battlefield Studios—DICE, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive—despite Battlefield 6’s record-breaking launch, selling seven million copies in three days and becoming the top-selling game in the U.S. in 2025. flag The cuts, part of a company-wide "realignment," were confirmed by EA, which cited a need to refocus teams on player priorities and post-launch support, emphasizing continued investment in the franchise. flag Although the game launched with strong sales and a peak of over 747,000 concurrent Steam players, player numbers have since dropped significantly, with current averages around 60,000, amid criticism over delayed content, unbalanced gameplay, and monetization. flag The layoffs have raised concerns about the game’s long-term development despite its commercial success.
