EA Shareholders Vote in Favor of $55 Billion Acquisition by Saudi Arabia

The shareholders of Electronic Arts Inc. have approved the $55 billion dollar sale to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

We originally reported on the potential takeover back in September, and now, the next part of the possible acquisition has taken place. In a vote issued on Monday, December 22, 2025, shareholders cast their ballots in favor of the $210 USD per share takeover. Assuming the deal is approved by government regulators, this will lead to a 93.4% acquisition of the company to the PIF. This will require that all countries EA has a hub to do business in, will need to give the deal a pass which in the United States will see the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment both having to give their approvals.

There are no plans to move Electronic Arts from the United States, at least if this filing from to the SEC back in November is correct. It states that Andrew Wilson will remain on as CEO, that EA will remain in Redwood City, and that EA as a whole will retain creative control over their games including "player-first values [remaining] intact".

So what do you think about the potential takeover? Do you think we'll see a change in the EA catalog should Saudi Arabia take over or do you believe they won't want to make changes to keep profits up? Will government regulators pass the sale? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
