On May 6, Electronic Arts published its earnings for fiscal year 2025, which revealed the company suffered a 1.3% loss in revenue year-over-year. Despite this, EA remains positive for the coming fiscal year, expecting EA Sports and new releases to bolster the company’s earnings.
According to a press release, the EA Sports portfolio, The Sims and Split Fiction were huge contributors to the company’s revenue this fiscal year. They praised Madden and EA Sports FC as great performers, with the former even reaching $1 billion in net bookings.
