In September alone, 17 game companies announced layoffs. Article: Kieran Harris – Gamereactor.cn 2023 has already been a pretty bleak year for the gaming industry, with established studios such as Volition and PixelOpus closing their doors. Last month, Naughty Dog and Epic Games also announced that they would sadly be making a series of layoffs. As studio closures and layoffs have been commonplace over the past 10 months, Farhan Noor, a technical artist at Riot Games, estimates that around 6,100 employees in the gaming industry have lost their jobs. However, the actual number is likely even higher, as not every company has provided complete details on how many employees they have laid off. According to data provided by videogamelayoffs.com, Unity has laid off 900 people, making it the company with the most layoffs this year. Following closely behind are Epic Games with just over 800 and Amazon with 500. Thanks, Metro. Source: Gamereactor.cn
