In a post on X, Paul Tassi, a journalist at Forbes, also noted that the percentage of layoffs will be “significant.” Several Bungie executives will also be stepping down in July. This will coincide with the payment of funds agreed upon as part of the deal with Sony.

Following the layoffs at Xbox, it’s time to take a look at what’s going on at PlayStation. Apparently, this will also be a very difficult period for one of the Japanese company’s studios.

Indeed, Sylvain Trinel, a reporter at BFMTV, reports that Bungie will be hit hard this summer. While we must treat this with caution, at least 50% of the studio’s workforce could be fired. These layoffs are reportedly due to the halt in development of Destiny 2 and the performance of Marathon. Approximately 1,220 people currently work at the company, so at least 600 people could lose their jobs.

Sony has not yet confirmed or denied this information.
