Saudi PIF Eyes Mega-Merger of EA and Savvy Games Group After $55B Buyout
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has wasted little time in reshaping its newly acquired gaming empire. Just over a month after completing a $55 billion leveraged buyout of Electronic Arts, the sovereign wealth fund is now reportedly considering a merger between EA and its existing subsidiary, Savvy Games Group. If the deal moves forward, it would create one of the largest and most wide-reaching gaming conglomerates in the world, bringing together storied franchises like EA FC and Battlefield under the same corporate roof as Savvy's portfolio, which includes a controlling stake in Pokémon Go developer Niantic.
