Take-Two Interactive has announced cost-cutting measures that will lay off five percent of its global workforce and scrap several projects already in development.

Take-Two Interactive, the gaming company behind franchises like Grand Theft Auto, NBA 2K, and Bioshock, has announced cost-cutting measures that will lay off “approximately five percent” of its global workforce and scrap several projects already in development. The company said in an SEC filing published on Tuesday that it is “streamlining its organizational structure, which will eliminate headcount and reduce future hiring needs.

The downsizing efforts are expected to be “largely complete” by December 31st, 2024. A five percent workforce reduction works out to around 579 of the 11,580 employees that Take-Two disclosed in its latest impact report. The company hasn’t specified which teams will be affected, or which projects will be dropped. Grand Theft Auto VI, the highly anticipated title expected to launch next year is likely unaffected.
