Founded in 1982 by former Apple employee Trip Hawkins, the company employs approximately 30,130 individuals and reported $7.5B in revenue as of 2026. As a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company specializes in niche sports as its main product, functioning as an American video game company.
Electronic Arts' $55 billion acquisition is expected to finalize on August 4, 2026, subject to fulfilling or exempting standard closing conditions as stated in a recent SEC filing. The company previously announced the merger's conclusion for next week, signifying the end of EA's tenure as a publicly traded entity following the clearance of regulatory hurdles. This $55 billion sale, initially announced nearly a year ago, involves an investor consortium with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) anticipated to own a 93.4% share. Earlier, European regulators granted approval for the Saudi Arabia-led consortium, comprising the PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners, to acquire Electronic Arts, with all necessary regulatory approvals obtained as of July 30, 2026.
