Unity Software is laying off 25% of its staff as it tries to position itself for long-term profitability.

In total, 1,800 people across all teams will be impacted as the company "restructures and refocuses on its core business," according to a Tuesday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company told FOX Business that the move was part of the company's "reset," which was announced in a shareholder letter in early November.
