King of Meat’s Disappointing Debut Triggers Glowmade Layoffs Despite Amazon Backing and MrBeast Promotion

Glowmade Games is planning layoffs after its debut title, King of Meat, commercially underperformed, despite financial backing from Amazon and promotion by MrBeast. According to Insider Gaming, managers have initiated voluntary dismissal discussions with staff, and an unspecified number of employees will be let go in January 2026. The game, a cooperative party platformer inspired by Fall Guys, launched on October 2, 2025, for consoles and PC. Glowmade Games hoped to reach 100,000 concurrent players; however, even with significant promotional support, the game peaked at only 320 players during a free weekend. In related news, RWS has canceled Postal: Bullet Paradise following online backlash and accusations of using AI-generated artwork. The company has also apologized for offensive remarks allegedly made on its Discord server; the apology followed claims that a derogatory term was used. The failure of King of Meat highlights the challenges companies face in replicating the success of games like Fortnite and Fall Guys, even with substantial investment and marketing. The layoffs, occurring just months after the game’s release, strongly suggest that King of Meat failed to meet the company’s sales objectives, regardless of console performance.
