EA Lowers Financial Outlook as Flagship Games Underperform

Electronic Arts revises fiscal year projections after EA Sports FC 25 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard fail to meet expectations.

EA Sports FC 25, the rebranded successor to FIFA, experienced slower sales and in-game spending, leading to a decline in live service revenue projections.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard engaged 1.5 million players in its first two months, falling nearly 50% short of EA's internal expectations.
EA revised its annual net bookings forecast to $7 billion–$7.15 billion, down from the previously estimated $7.5 billion–$7.8 billion.
The company's stock dropped sharply, losing over $6 billion in market value, marking one of its worst single-day declines since the dot-com bubble.
EA leadership remains optimistic about long-term growth, citing plans to launch more iconic franchises and gameplay updates for underperforming titles.
