EA realigns Battlefield studios after blockbuster debut
Electronic Arts laid off an unspecified number of staff across its Battlefield studios (Criterion, DICE, Ripple Effect, and Motive) as part of a realignment meant to better focus teams on community priorities, even though Battlefield 6 had a record-breaking launch (7 million copies in three days and a Steam peak of about 747k). EA says Battlefield remains a priority and investments will continue, despite some post-launch criticisms such as skin redesigns and gas-mask issues.
