https://publish.obsidian.md/vg-layoffs/Archive/2024 not sure if this is what you’re looking for but someone has been tracking overall video game layoffs for the past 3 years. 2023 was approximately 10,600, we’re halfway there at 5600 in 2024 and it’s only been a month. That’s pretty fucked.

Take your pick of article. There are numerous to choose from, and most of them give a rough number and their sources.

I don’t have their numbers, but this isn’t the first place I’ve seen similar quoted. First one I found through some friends’ discussion was this, which puts us, at a quick glance, at around a third of last year’s total(still plenty bad).
