GAME Prepares for Job Cuts

According to reports, GAME employees are facing an impending round of layoffs, with the majority of staff being transitioned to zero-hour contracts. As reported by Eurogamer, the company has begun implementing zero-hour contracts across all roles, initially for new junior staff and expected to continue for most non-management positions. Staff members have allegedly informed the outlet that this shift will lead to redundancies, although the exact number of affected employees is unclear. GamesIndustry.biz has sought further clarification from GAME. This development comes after the UK-based games retailer was acquired by Frasers Group in 2019 for $52 million.
