Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 workers, CEO Tim Sweeney said in a March 24, 2026 blog post, citing 'extreme' market conditions and a downturn in Fortnite engagement. The company identified over $500 million in cost savings, will provide affected U.S. employees at least four months' base pay and six months' health benefits, and said the cuts are unrelated to artificial intelligence.
