About

Riot Games, the developer behind League of Legends and Valorant, has laid off 46 employees as part of strategic shifts within certain teams. The company, which currently has 150 open positions globally, stated this move aims to sharpen its focus on delivering the best content and experiences for players. These layoffs, confirmed in January 2023, affected roles across departments such as recruiting, human resources, support, and esports. While Riot historically avoids large reductions, this decision aligns with broader economic challenges impacting the tech and gaming industries. The layoffs represent a small fraction of its workforce, reflecting periodic adjustments to team structures as part of normal business operations.
