Just over a month after a consortium led by the Saudi Arabian government’s Public Investment Fund completed its $55 billion acquisition of Electronic Arts, new reports suggest a significant structural change could be on the horizon for the publisher. The new owners are reportedly considering plans to merge EA with another gaming firm already within their expansive portfolio.
This potential consolidation would see EA combine with Savvy Games Group, an existing entity under the same Saudi ownership. Should this merger proceed, it would create a massive new company, described as a major industry player, designed to serve as a primary vehicle for the Public Investment Fund’s extensive investments and presence in the global gaming sector. This report is based on initial findings from Rock Paper Shotgun.
