EA SOLD — Shareholders Approve $55B Saudi Takeover

It’s official — EA shareholders just dumped the company. In a stunning vote, 99% approved a massive $55 billion buyout, effectively selling Electronic Arts and taking one of gaming’s biggest publishers off the stock market.

The deal is led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which will walk away with an estimated 93% ownership stake in EA. After decades as a public company, Electronic Arts is now private — and Saudi-owned in all but name.

This isn’t a victory lap. After years of live-service failures, studio mismanagement, creative stagnation, and declining trust, shareholders didn’t double down — they cashed out. The buyout sends a clear message: Wall Street has lost faith in EA’s long-term future as a public company.

EA claims going private will unlock creative freedom and long-term planning. But with BioWare struggling, major franchises under pressure, and monetization still king, fans are asking the real question:
👉 Is this a reset… or the quiet end of the EA we knew?
