Electronic Arts doesn’t plan to raise game prices to the $80 point, according to the company’s CEO Andrew Wilson.
Answering a question about changes in game pricing during the recent earnings call, Wilson said: “We’re not looking to make any changes on pricing at this stage, but that’s in the context of already offering a fairly broad pricing scheme across our various products.”
It is worth noting that EA has a huge release coming in 2025, Battlefield 6, a new title in the company’s flagship franchise.
In Q1 FY 2026, Electronic Arts’ earnings outperformed the company’s expectations, according to the official report.
Despite expecting a net revenue decline, Electronic Arts saw a 0.6% increase to $1.67 billion. Nevertheless, its net profit dropped by 28.1% to $201 million.
The news comes on the heels of layoffs at video game studio Respawn Entertainment in April 2025, founded in 2010 by Jason West and Vince Zampella and owned by Electronic Arts since 2017, which cut around 100 employees from teams working on Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi.
Earlier this summer, Gaming.New reported that Wilson earns 260 times more than EA’s average employee.
