A consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), together with Silver Lake Management and Affinity Partners, is holding talks with Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) over a potential acquisition, Bloomberg reported, citing sources.

 

The sources indicated that the deal would be financed through debt, with a possible announcement expected this week.

 

They added, however, that the transaction has not yet been finalized and could still collapse. JPMorgan Chase & Co. is said to be arranging a financing package for the buyers.

 

According to data compiled by Argaam, PIF owned 24.8 million shares in EA at the end of Q2 2025, representing about 10% of the company’s total outstanding shares.

 

At the latest closing price of $193.35 per share, EA’s market capitalization stands at roughly $48.5 billion.

 

Founded in 1982 in California, EA is one of the world’s largest video game publishers and developers, known for a broad portfolio of globally successful titles.
