Eurogamer Faces Second Layoff Onslaught Under IGN Ownership - briefly
(hx) 05:47 PM CET - Feb,26 2026 - Post a comment / read (1)
IGN-owned Eurogamer and other Gamer Network sites, including Rock Paper Shotgun and VG247, have launched a fresh wave of editorial layoffs this week—the second since IGN's 2024 acquisition from ReedPop. Cuts have hit Eurogamer's most experienced editors and its entire four-person video team, with one role transferred to IGN, alongside behind-the-scenes reductions at Outside Xbox.

The VG247 editorial team has moved on without replacements, shrinking it to a minimal guides operation.

This upheaval reflects broader games media woes, including a 25% global decline in journalists over two years amid AI competition and ad shifts. Online reactions mix sympathy for staff with schadenfreude from gamers blaming ideological content drifts.
