EA has announced it's laying off 6% of its employees and undergoing restructuring. The news comes via an official EA blog post, also shared internally with employees, and EA said it had already begun notifying staff of layoffs in early 2023.

Workers affected will continue to receive layoff notices until the beginning of the new fiscal year starting in April. SEC documents show that EA had 12,900 employees as of March 2022, suggesting the 6% amounts to about 774 employees being affected.

EA boss Andrew Wilson told staff that the company will prioritize "building games and experiences that entertain massive online communities, creating blockbuster interactive storytelling, and amplifying the power of community in and around our games with social and creator tools."
