Epic Games announced it will lay off over 1,000 employees. This is a cost-cutting move. It follows a sharp drop in players for its main game, Fortnite.
CEO Tim Sweeney told staff the company spent too much money. This started when Fortnite use fell in 2025. The layoffs are part of a plan to save over $500 million. Other cuts include contracts, marketing, and leaving jobs open.
