Electronic Arts (EA) is set to undergo significant changes as Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Jared Kushner's firm are to acquire it in a
$55 billion buyout. The deal marks the
largest-ever private equity buyout, and as a result, EA is transitioning to private ownership. The transition has garnered scrutiny from the U.S. Congress and various regulatory bodies due to potential downstream effects on jobs, anti-labor practices, and game development, thereby suggesting that EA's future operations may be materially impacted. Nonetheless, EA continues to
innovate, partnering with Stability AI to advance creative processes, and
expand partnerships, for instance, with the NFL. Financially, EA has garnered promising returns, with its valuation up 74.18% YoY, and renowned investors such as Retirement Systems of Alabama and New York State Common Retirement Fund revealed adjustments in their EA stakes. Notably, EA broke records with its Battlefield 6 launch, achieving the
highest launch in franchise history, and plans to release Q3 FY 2026 results on February 3, 2026.
