Epic Games, the creator of Fortnite and Unreal Engine, announces layoffs of over a thousand employees due to financial pressures.

CEO Tim Sweeney emphasizes that these cuts are not AI-related, but aimed at supporting more developers. Affected employees will receive severance and health coverage. Epic aims to steady operations and focus on long-term sustainability in a challenging market.
