]]> Electronic Arts has confirmed it has agreed to be acquired by an investor group made up of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners in a transaction valued at approximately $55 billion. The deal represents the largest all-cash sponsor take-private investment in history.

Terms of the Agreement

The investor group will acquire 100% of EA, with the Public Investment Fund rolling over its existing 9.9% stake.

  • EA stockholders will receive $210 per share in cash.
  • The purchase price reflects a 25% premium on EA’s unaffected closing share price of $168.32 (September 25, 2025).
  • It also surpasses EA’s previous all-time high of $179.01 (August 14, 2025).

Following completion, EA’s common stock will be delisted from public markets.

Leadership and Operations

EA will continue to be led by Andrew Wilson, who remains Chairman and CEO. The company will also retain its headquarters in Redwood City, California.

In a statement, Wilson said:

“Our creative and passionate teams at EA have delivered extraordinary experiences for hundreds of millions of fans, built some of the world’s most iconic IP, and created significant value for our business. This moment is a powerful recognition of their remarkable work.

Looking ahead, we will continue to push the boundaries of entertainment, sports, and technology, unlocking new opportunities. Together with our partners, we will create transformative experiences to inspire generations to come. I am more energized than ever about the future we are building.”

The transaction is expected to close in Q1 FY27, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Financing the Deal

The deal is being funded through a combination of equity and debt financing:

  • $36 billion in equity investment provided by PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners.
  • $20 billion in debt financing, fully committed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., of which $18 billion is expected to fund at closing.
  • Affinity Partners — an American investment firm founded in 2021 by Jared Kushner — will contribute alongside the other investors using capital under its own management.

Historical Context

The size of the deal puts it among the most significant acquisitions in gaming history.

  • Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023 remains the largest overall takeover in the industry.
  • By comparison, Sony’s $3.6 billion purchase of Bungie, and Take-Two’s $12.7 billion acquisition of Zynga, look small in scale.
  • What makes EA’s sale unique is that it is the largest all-cash private equity-backed deal ever completed, signalling a major shift in how global investment funds are positioning themselves within the gaming and entertainment sector.

This move effectively removes EA from the public stock market, reshaping the company as a privately held giant with deep-pocketed backers and long-term investment ambitions.

Context and Upcoming Releases

The acquisition comes at a pivotal time for Electronic Arts, with several major launches on the horizon:

  • Battlefield 6 (launching days after the announcement)
  • EA Sports FC 26 and Skate (recent releases)
  • Ongoing projects include Mass Effect (BioWare), Star Wars Jedi 3 (Respawn), and Iron Man (Motive).

With one of the biggest buyouts in gaming history looming, EA’s immediate future will be defined by how it balances these blockbuster titles with its new ownership structure.

]]> EA SPORTS has unveiled the official soundtrack for FC 26, featuring 109 songs from over 30 countries. The line-up marks a historic moment for the series, as Italy international Moise Kean appears as an artist under his stage name KMB — the first time a professional footballer has featured on an FC soundtrack.

Global Mix of Established Stars and Rising Artists

Continuing the franchise’s tradition of spotlighting international talent, the soundtrack blends chart-topping names with fresh voices. Artists include Ed Sheeran, Fred again.., Skepta, PinkPantheress, JENNIE, Ebony, Obongjayar, HAIM, and The Cure, alongside 27 previously unreleased tracks. New material also comes from Joy Crookes and Alewya, with the full playlist now streaming.

EA Celebrates Music’s Role in FC Culture

Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive and President of Music at Electronic Arts, said:

“For more than two decades, EA SPORTS has shaped global culture by introducing millions of players to new music, artists, and genres. FC 26 is one of the most diverse and bold soundtracks yet – echoing the voice of the FC community through song and culture.”

Moise Kean Becomes First Footballer on an FC Soundtrack

Moise Kean (KMB) reflected on joining the soundtrack:

“Football and music are both passions that unite people across the world, no matter their differences. To now be a part of FC 26, not just as a player but as an artist myself, is a dream come true.”

PinkPantheress on Football and Finding a Vibe

PinkPantheress added:

“Having ‘Girl Like Me’ on the FC 26 soundtrack is honestly a bit mad. I’ve always thought it’s sweet how football and music can bring people together without even trying. I just like making songs that make you feel something, so hopefully when they queue a tune of mine in the game, they catch a vibe and carry it with them. Maybe even help them bag a goal or two, who knows!”

(Note: 109 songs will be available from September 19, with several arriving via post-launch updates.)

The Soundtrack of the Beautiful Game

The FC 26 playlist builds on a tradition that began with FIFA 98: Road to World Cup, the first game in the series to feature licensed music. Since then, EA SPORTS soundtracks have become cultural touchstones — launching global hits, spotlighting new artists, and soundtracking decades of virtual football memories.

With its bold mix of genres, cultures, and global voices, the FC 26 soundtrack captures the spirit of football itself — uniting players from every corner of the world through music.

EA SPORTS has been curating annual soundtracks for over two decades, with each entry introducing new artists to a global audience. FC 26 continues that legacy, setting the stage for a future look back at how these iconic playlists have shaped the culture of the series — and the sport — over the years.
