The gaming industry has been a hotspot for investors and Electronic Arts (EA) seems to have taken a significant lead in the past year. Despite some hitches, such as the cancellation of the Black Panther video game and the closure of Cliffhanger Games, EA has managed to stay afloat through strong partnerships, game developments, and strategic acquisitions. For example, EA has joined hands with Samsung and Xbox to bring EA SPORTS FC™ 25 to Samsung Gaming Hub. On the flip side, the company took a dip in its shares after its most recent Earnings report, and reports are making rounds about an imminent laying off of another 400 developers, adding to the already done round of retrenchments.
On the product front, EA has announced its new game, Star Wars Zero Company™ set in the Clone Wars. Other notable mentions are Madden NFL 26 and EA SPORTS™ College Football 26 - which are using real NFL data to deliver true gameplay experiences. The launch of F1® 25, a 'legacy forging' sporting blockbuster, has also picked up traction. Meanwhile, QRG Capital Management and Retirement Systems of Alabama have continued to invest in EA. This shows strong institutional support, despite the decelerating rates of return.
