Electronic Arts has been fully acquired by a consortium of investor groups, including the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners. The acquisition, valued at $55 billion, marks a significant move for EA as it transitions from a public to a private company. EA shareholders received $210 in cash for each share they owned, resulting in the delisting of EA's stock. The future of EA's various projects remains uncertain following the acquisition.
