Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) is considering merging EA, which it acquired through a $55 billion deal, with Savvy Games Group. According to Bloomberg, no final decision has been made yet, but a potential merger could come onto the agenda following Savvy’s process of acquiring Chinese mobile game company Moonton for $6 billion. PIF and EA did not comment.
Why it matters
This consideration raises the question of how the Saudi fund will position its assets in the gaming sector following the acquisition of EA by PIF. The fact that it is being discussed at the same time as Savvy’s acquisition process for Moonton suggests that the potential corporate structure could also be linked to investments in mobile gaming. The scope of such a move leaves open the question of whether EA and Savvy will remain separate entities or move toward closer integration in terms of management. Since no final decision has been made, and given the status of potential regulatory approvals and the lack of official statements from the parties, it is not yet clear whether the plan will be finalized or how it will relate to the Moonton process.
