EA Sports Goes Private After Massive $55 Billion Acquisition

In a major shake-up in the gaming world, EA Sports has officially gone private following a staggering $55 (approx. Rs 15,290) billion acquisition. This monumental deal was completed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, alongside equity firm Silver Lake and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners.
