Electronic Arts (EA) is in the advanced stages of a
levitated buyout, predicted to be worth around
$55 billion, with multiple parties including
PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners involved in the acquisition. The move has been approved by
99% of EA shareholders and it's believed that it will significantly change the company's operations. Meanwhile, collaborations have been announced, such as a partnership with
Stability AI to enhance game development and expansions in partnerships with the
NFL and
The Athletic alongside collaborations with
Prime Video and
MLS for enhanced interactive content. EA's releases such as
'Battlefield 6' and
'EA Sports FC™ 26' have been successful, the former being the biggest launch in the franchise's history. However, some drastic decisions, such as closing down existing games have sparked controversy. The company's financial performance has been modest with slight increases in stock value noted after earnings reports. EA also faces potential legal troubles with PESP over its acquisition.
