EA CEO Pockets $38M Battlefield 6 Payday While Laid-Off Devs Watch from the Sidelines
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson received $38.6 million in total compensation for fiscal year 2025, an $8 million raise over the prior year, largely driven by the record-breaking commercial success of Battlefield 6. The massive payday puts Wilson's earnings at 305 times the salary of an average EA employee, according to figures reported by GamesRadar. The irony is hard to ignore: the bonus arrived roughly four months after EA laid off approximately 400 developers, many of whom had worked directly on the game credited with fueling the reward.
