Electronic Arts, also known as EA, is a publicly owned American video game company headquartered in Redwood City, California. Founded in May 1982 by former Apple employee Trip Hawkins, the company operates with an estimated 30,130 employees. It reported $7.5B in revenue as of 2024 and specializes in video games, focusing on niche sports titles.
Apex Legends players experienced intermittent matchmaking, login, and connection errors in early April 2026, with peak disruptions occurring around April 2–3 across multiple regions including US East, US West, EU West, and Asia; community observers attributed these issues to anti-cheat or cloud-infrastructure impacts. On April 3, reports detailed a $55 billion buyout of Electronic Arts by Gulf sovereign-wealth funds, an investment made in the months prior to a conflict involving the U.S. and Israel in Iran. Previously, on April 1, Electronic Arts announced its acquisition of Rockstar Games, the studio behind the Grand Theft Auto franchise. This deal, described as a disruptive shakeup in the gaming industry, sparked debate over EA's future plans. This acquisition followed Electronic Arts' removal from the NASDAQ Internet Index in March 2026, despite the company reporting strong year-over-year earnings per share and revenue growth.
