The company behind popular games like Battlefield and EA Sports FC may be taken private. Discussions are underway for a potential $50 billion acquisition.
According to the Wall Street Journal, a group of investors-including Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Private Investment Fund-are planning to buy the publisher in what could be one of the largest video game acquisitions ever.
The goal is to boost the publisher’s profits while it remains privately owned, then sell it for a substantial gain.
Naturally, there are some worries, especially as Saudi Arabia’s role in the gaming industry keeps increasing.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is trying to diversify the Saudi Arabian economy away from oil. As a result, the country’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has invested heavily in gaming companies like Take-Two, Nintendo, and Electronic Arts (EA).
With news reports surfacing, a deal seems likely, but it’s still possible the talks could fall through.
We’re monitoring the situation closely and will let you know if we receive any further updates.
