Electronic Arts, also known as EA, is a Publicly Owned company headquartered in the United States. 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.
On August 21, Vise Technologies Inc. purchased a new stake in Electronic Arts Inc., acquiring 19,328 shares valued at approximately $3.96 million in the second quarter. Earlier the same day, Electronic Arts finalized its $55 billion acquisition, going private under the leadership of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). The deal reportedly incurred $20 billion in debt for the gaming company. During this process, some EA directors allegedly referred to employees expressing concerns about the Saudi takeover as "little babies." On August 20, Electronic Arts and Xbox stopped sharing digital sales data with Circana, a firm known for publishing monthly U.S. video game market reports. This follows news from earlier on August 20 that the $55 billion acquisition, which also involved Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners and investment firm Silver Lake, has cast doubt on the future of titles like Mass Effect 5, with a former EA manager indicating its development is unlikely under the new ownership.
