EA boasts a 9% increase in earnings thanks to Battlefield after making massive layoffs

Electronic Arts, better known as EA, has presented its results for the past fiscal year, covering from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. Increasing its revenue to $8.026 billion, they have earned 9% more than in the previous fiscal year, all thanks to Battlefield. Stating that it is the best-performing Battlefield in a single fiscal year and that it has set numerous records for the franchise in a single fiscal year, the reason they have achieved these results has been due to this franchise.

The game continues to run like a charm

This has not prevented EA from making mass layoffs at Battlefield Studios less than two months ago. Even though the game sold 7 million copies in three days, EA considered that the game performed below their expectations.

According to Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, the credit for the company’s success this year particularly lies in “the incredibly successful launch of our flagship franchise Battlefield.” This is ironic considering they laid off a good part of the studio responsible for the game. The studio continues to release patches and seasons, building on that initial success.

Other important elements of EA’s strategy have been its football titles, EA SPORTS FC 26, FC Online, and FC Mobile, which have grown by about 5% collectively. Meanwhile, Apex Legend, a video game that faced some serious issues during 2024 and 2025, has managed to increase its revenue by 10% thanks to a change in monetization strategy and engagement in the game. Figures that make the layoffs at Battlefield Studios even more incomprehensible.
