Twitch 2024 layoffs

Twitch cut approximately 35% of its workforce in January 2024 (~500 employees), part of a broader restructuring that followed the 2023 staff reductions and Korea exit.

On January 10, 2024, Twitch CEO Dan Clancy announced that the company would lay off approximately 35% of its workforce — around 500 employees — in a restructuring effort. The cuts followed a 400-person layoff in March 2023 and the December 2023 announcement of Twitch’s withdrawal from South Korea. The layoffs and Korea exit were widely interpreted as indicators that Twitch, despite its market-leading watch-time share, has struggled to reach profitability under Amazon ownership.
