New York CNN —Electronic Arts plans to lay off 5% of its employees, making it the latest company in the gaming and tech space to reduce its workforce.
Epic Games cut 830 jobs in September.
In January, Tencent’s Riot Games said it would lay off 11% of its workforce and Microsoft said it would cut 1,900 jobs from its Activision Blizzard and Xbox gaming divisions.
And electronics giant Sony said on Tuesday it would cut 8% of its global workforce, amounting to around 900 jobs.
That means that after its cuts to staff last year, Wednesday’s layoffs could affect more than 600 workers.
