Groundbreaking $50B Private Buyout Deal in Sight for Electronic Arts
Electronic Arts, a titan in the video game industry, is reportedly on the brink of finalizing a monumental $50 billion deal to transition to a private entity. If successful, this could potentially set a new record as the largest leveraged buyout in history. The consortium leading this ambitious venture includes the private equity firm Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners.
Known for its popular franchises such as FIFA, Madden NFL, and The Sims, Electronic Arts saw its stock surge by 15% on Friday following the news. This deal, one of the most significant corporate transactions of 2025, could be officially announced as early as next week.
