Electronic Arts

Global publisher of live-service video games

Electronic Arts (EA) publishes and distributes video games across consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. It creates games and extends their life with live services, such as downloadable content (DLC), in-game purchases, and subscriptions, to keep players engaged over time. Its products are sold as digital downloads and physical copies, with additional value through ongoing content and a subscription plan called EA Play that grants access to a library of games and perks. Compared with competitors, EA blends a broad lineup of genres and platforms with a steady revenue model based on live services and memberships, rather than relying only on initial game launches. Its goal is to inspire the world through play while building stable, recurring income by maintaining active player communities and expanding engagement across geographies.
