"In a move to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs, Sony Online Entertainment has eliminated 5% of its full-time workforce, equalling 41 people.
"SOE looks forward to continuing its leadership role in the online games industry as it celebrates the highly successful launch of Free Realms, the 10-year commemoration of its groundbreaking EverQuest franchise, and the continued performance of the company's other games."
There has been no word on which titles will be impacted by the lay-offs, nor was it revealed which positions were eliminated.
