Epic Games mengumumkan PHK yang berdampak pada lebih dari 1.000 karyawan pada tanggal 24 Maret, dengan alasan penurunan keterlibatan Fortnite yang menyebabkan pengeluaran melebihi pendapatan. CEO Tim Sweeney mengungkapkan penyesalannya dalam sebuah posting blog, seraya mencatat bahwa pemutusan hubungan kerja tersebut, bersama dengan penghematan biaya lainnya sebesar lebih dari $500 juta, akan menstabilkan perusahaan. Staf yang terdampak akan menerima paket pesangon termasuk setidaknya empat bulan gaji pokok dan perpanjangan layanan kesehatan.
