EA Cuts Unknown Number of Fan Care & Recruitment Staff

Electronic Arts has announced a fresh wave of layoffs, reportedly affecting its recruitment, customer support, trust‑and‑safety, and IT divisions.

Sources close to the situation, along with twelve publicly posted notices from affected employees, confirm the breadth of the reductions. While the exact number of staff let go remains undisclosed, the data points to layoffs in remote U.S. roles and at EA’s Hyderabad office, where several long‑tenured employees—some with over a decade of service—were dismissed.

An internal memo circulated last Wednesday to the Fan Care team, penned by a department head, framed the layoffs as part of an effort to “adapt how we work to better meet fans’ changing needs.”

The communication further explained that the company is “making or proposing to make changes to some roles, creating new roles, and moving certain work to different teams, locations, or service partners.”
