Not even the creators of Apex Legends, EA's premier shooter, are safe from recent industry layoffs, with multiple members of the team confirming on social media that developer Respawn has been affected.

Though not personally let go, Respawn level designer Aaron Stump confirmed layoffs had hit the team in a post on X.

"The Apex team was hit with layoffs today," Stump said. "It sucks seeing some of the people I've worked with for almost three years now get let go. Hopefully they land on their feet sooner rather than later."
