GameSpot has announced another round of layoffs, marking the fourth such instance since Fandom acquired the outlet in 2022.

Staff members, including senior producer Dave Klein, confirmed their layoffs on social media, indicating that many others were also affected. Senior editor Chris Hayner and producer Jake Dekker expressed concern for their colleagues. This latest round of cuts follows previous layoffs in January 2023 and January 2024, which also impacted Giant Bomb. The total number of affected employees remains unclear.
