Electronic Arts is laying off roughly 670 staffers, equivalent to 5% of its workforce, CEO Andrew Wilson wrote in a memo to staff on Wednesday.
“As a company full of creators and storytellers, we believe in the value of teams innovating together and continue to learn and adopt new ways of collaborating to grow and serve our global communities,” Wilson wrote. “Given how and where we are working, we are continuing to optimize our global real estate footprint to best support our business.”
Wilson added that the company would also be “sunsetting games and moving away from development of future licensed IP that we do not believe will be successful in our changing industry.”
