Battlefield 6: EA Pays Former Studio Head $38 Million After Developer Layoffs

Rarely does an industry story feature such a sharp contrast: a company fires its entire development team and then generously rewards its former leader. According to PC Gamer, publisher EA has paid the former CEO of Battlefield Studios $38 million.

The payout totals $38 million, representing an $8 million raise over 2025. This decision was made after Battlefield 6 demonstrated strong commercial performance despite internal restructuring.

The event occurred against the backdrop of significant personnel changes within the company. While developers were let go, the financial success of the project allowed the publisher to offset costs at the executive level. This approach highlights how financial metrics can outweigh personnel crises in the eyes of shareholders.
