Our take

EA is a leading global game company, responsible for developing and publishing some of the biggest games of the last 20 years. Its publishing successes include giants like The Sims, Battlefield, and Mass Effect, while EA's titles, such as Fifa, Madden, and NBA Live, have also seen market-leading success.

A series of acquisitions in 2021 marked EA's push into mobile gaming, which has become the driving force behind the rapid growth of the global video gaming market, and has remained a clear focus for the company, despite the cancellation of its popular Apex Legends Mobile game. The company also expressed interest in NFTs and "play-to-earn" games, going so far as to label them "the future of the industry", but has since taken steps to distance itself from the idea, as it proved unpopular with gamers.

This combined model of publishing and development has allowed EA to put its name to a huge range of products, making the brand iconic in the gaming world. It has formed major partnerships with the likes of Disney, giving it full control of creating in-demand games, such as within the Star Wars franchise. In the upcoming years, the company plans to focus on games-as-a-service, as it embraces the evolution of the gaming world.
