Video game layoffs: WARN notices

A WARN notice is the filing a US employer makes with a state ahead of a mass layoff or a closure. The notices here were filed by video game companies we track, in the states we read. This is not a count of every job cut. Layoffs in other states or countries, below a state's threshold, or at companies we don't track are not here. A notice comes before the layoffs and does not prove they happened. How layoff notices work.
