Market Chatter: Saudi Arabia's PIF Reportedly Mulls Merger of Electronic Arts, Savvy Games

12:41 AM EDT, 09/11/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Saudi Arabia's wealth fund is considering the creation of what could be one of the world's largest gaming companies through the merger of Electronic Arts and Savvy Games, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. The unnamed sources said the potential transaction is part of the Public Investment Fund, or PIF's, efforts to improve portfolio coordination. The people added that details are yet to be finalized and that a deal is unlikely until after the completion of Savvy's $6 billion purchase of Chinese mobile gaming business Moonton. PIF declined to comment, while Savvy and Electronic Arts did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
