Crystal Dynamics and other studios report further staff layoffs
In March 2026, the video game industry continued its pattern of instability as Crystal Dynamics confirmed its fourth round of layoffs in a single year.
Approximately 20 employees were affected by this recent restructuring, bringing the total number of staff departures to a significant level since early 2025.
Despite these changes, the studio remains committed to high-profile projects, including the upcoming Tomb Raider: Catalyst.
Recent industry reports suggest that roughly one-third of professionals in the U.S. have faced job cuts over the last two years.
As companies like Embracer Group pivot to streamline their operations, the industry remains in a climate of uncertainty, proving that even teams working on the world's most recognizable franchises are not exempt from corporate downsizing.
