Codemasters, The Latest Game Developer Affected By Job Cuts

Nearly one month has passed since Codemasters launched EA Sports WRC, and half a year since the debut of F1 23, with the acquisition by EA having taken place two years prior. Despite these developments, the studio is not immune to the recent spate of layoffs that have swept across the gaming industry over the past twelve months. Reports are now emerging that Codemasters is being compelled to reduce its workforce.

EA has acknowledged this development in a statement to IGN, noting:

"We continuously adjust to the changing landscape of our industry, ensuring that the games and services we offer not only engage and bring our players together but also spark inspiration. Occasionally, this involves implementing modest organizational adjustments to align our teams and resources with shifting business demands and priorities. We are committed to providing extensive support to those impacted by these changes throughout this transition."

The precise number of employees affected remains unclear at this stage, as does the impact on ongoing projects. Information is expected to surface in the near future as those made redundant start sharing their experiences. As always, we hope for the best outcome for all individuals involved in this situation.
