Battlefield 6 Best-Selling Game of 2025 Faces Layoffs

Battlefield 6 was the best-selling premium video game in 2025, according to Circana. That success did not prevent Electronic Arts from laying off an unknown number of developers across Battlefield Studios’ teams, including workers at series creator Dice. On March 9, IGN reported that EA had laid off an unconfirmed number of individuals and informed them these cuts are part of a "realignment" across all of the studios that work on Battlefield 6.

All four studios that make up Battlefield Studios—Dice, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios—will reportedly remain open and will continue to support Battlefield 6’s live-service seasons and updates. "We’ve made select changes within our Battlefield organization to better align our teams around what matters most to our community," said EA.
