EA lays off Battlefield 6 studio staff months after record-breaking launch

EA had a very successful game launch. It sold 7 million copies within its first three days and boosted the company’s overall bookings by 38% in the third quarter of 2026, reaching $3.046 billion. Sales in the US were the highest for a full game in three years. This launch was the biggest in the game series’ history, clearly showing it was back on track after the difficulties with Battlefield 2042. Despite this success, the company still made cuts.
