Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners Eyes $50B Electronic Arts Deal

September 27, 2025 By admin Leave a Comment

Electronic Arts, one of the world’s most influential video game publishers, may be heading toward a massive transition. Reports suggest that Jared Kushner’s investment fund, Affinity Partners, is in advanced talks to acquire EA in a deal valued at nearly $50 billion. If completed, this would mark one of the largest leveraged buyouts in gaming and entertainment history.

EA is best known for blockbuster franchises such as FIFA (now EA Sports FC), The Sims, Battlefield, Madden NFL, and Apex Legends. Its sports titles, in particular, dominate annual sales charts and command enormous global fan bases. Going private would give EA more flexibility in reshaping its portfolio, investing in new IP, and expanding into live service models without the constant quarterly pressure of Wall Street.

The potential deal reportedly includes heavyweight financing partners such as private-equity firm Silver Lake and the Saudi Public Investment Fund. This signals not only the scale of capital required but also the belief that gaming remains one of the most attractive growth sectors in digital entertainment. With global gaming revenues surpassing $180 billion annually, a privately backed EA would be positioned to accelerate development pipelines, push deeper into esports, and expand subscription and cloud offerings.

For the gaming industry, this move underscores the growing appetite of major investors to secure long-term positions in interactive entertainment. If the buyout succeeds, EA could have the resources and freedom to evolve its flagship franchises, experiment with new formats like AI-driven gameplay, and double down on mobile and emerging platforms. The outcome could reshape the competitive landscape, putting pressure on rivals like Activision Blizzard (now part of Microsoft), Take-Two Interactive, and Ubisoft to respond with bold strategies of their own.

At a time when gaming continues to outpace music and film as the dominant form of entertainment, EA’s next chapter will be watched closely by fans, developers, and investors alike. Whether this potential buyout delivers more innovation or simply a leaner, more focused EA remains to be seen—but the scale of the move makes it a defining moment in game tech.
