Epic Games 宣佈大幅裁員
Epic Games Announces Significant Workforce Reductions
2026年3月，遊戲巨頭Epic Games宣布進行大規模人力縮編，與超過1,000名員工分道揚鑣，約占其員工總數的20%。
In March 2026, the gaming giant Epic Games announced a major workforce reduction, parting ways with over 1,000 employees—roughly 20% of its staff.
執行長Tim Sweeney將此決定歸因於自2025年起《Fortnite》的參與度顯著下滑，造成公司支出與營收之間的缺口。
CEO Tim Sweeney attributed the decision to a notable downturn in Fortnite engagement that began in 2025, which created a gap between the company's spending and its earnings.
這是繼2023年類似行動後，該公司進行的第二輪重大裁員。
This is the company's second major round of layoffs, following a similar move in 2023.
儘管市場上有傳言，Sweeney明確表示這些裁員並非由採用人工智慧所致，並強調希望盡可能留住開發人員。
Despite market rumors, Sweeney explicitly stated these cuts were not caused by the adoption of Artificial Intelligence, emphasizing a desire to keep as many developers as possible.
分析師將此次裁員視為更廣泛產業困境的一部分，因為各公司正努力適應艱困的全球市場中放緩的成長與消費習慣的轉變。
Analysts view these layoffs as part of a wider industry struggle, as companies adjust to slower growth and shifting consumer habits in a challenging global market.
