Amazon is set to announce layoffs of up to 30,000 corporate employees. Within those layoffs, it’s expected that Amazon Games and Twitch will be hit in some capacity.
Bloomberg says, without going into specifics, that both video games and the cloud-computing area of the company will be affected. Insider Gaming has reached out to Amazon to ask how many people were set to be let go from the gaming division. As of publishing, a response has not been received.
News of the mass layoffs was first reported by Reuters. The cuts would be, according to the outlet, the largest cut since 2022, when Amazon let go of roughly 27,000 people. This new set of layoffs would be the largest in company history, with impacted employees to be notified via email.
Insider Gaming will have more coverage of the layoffs, including what happens to Amazon Games, as it becomes available.
