Saudi Arabia JUST BOUGHT EA – Gaming Will Never Be the Same

Electronic Arts (EA), the powerhouse behind franchises like Madden NFL, Battlefield, and The Sims, has been acquired in a monumental $55 billion deal. This acquisition, led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, marks the largest private equity buyout in history.

Under the terms of the agreement, EA stockholders will receive $210 per share in cash, a 25% premium over the unaffected share price. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, taking EA private and delisting its stock from public markets.

This move follows a broader trend of consolidation in the gaming industry, with major players like Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard. The acquisition aligns with PIF’s strategy to expand its gaming portfolio, which includes investments in companies like Nintendo, Scopely, and FACEIT.

As EA transitions into private ownership, questions arise about the future of its game development, monetization strategies, and studio operations. Will this acquisition lead to innovation and revitalization, or will it result in layoffs, canceled projects, and increased monetization?
