EA has laid off an undisclosed number of employees at Full Circle, the studio behind the free-to-play Skate reboot. Despite attracting over 15 million players in under three weeks after its early access launch, the game failed to sustain momentum, dropping below 4,000 concurrent Steam players over the past month and holding a 'mixed' rating from over 58,000 reviews. EA stated the cuts are intended to reshape the team structure to better support the live-service title going forward. The layoffs come amid EA's ongoing acquisition by an investor consortium that includes Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF, which would own 93.4% of the company if the deal closes.
