Electronic Arts recently disclosed its outstanding fourth-quarter earnings for the fiscal year of 2022. The increase in earnings was driven by EA’s flagship live online products, such as Apex Legends and FIFA.

??Chris Suh, the CFO of Electronic Arts, revealed to stakeholders on the fourth-quarter results call that Apex continues to provide overwhelming gains for the organization. Suh went further to verify that the game’s overall earnings had now surpassed $2 billion.

For a game that was released three years ago, the game gets bigger and increases in value at an incredible rate. Suh stated that Apex’s income climbed by 40% year over year, adding that Season 12 marked the game’s most profitable season ever. The company is expected to produce a billion dollars every year in the future, as experts have speculated.??

Shareholders had to make do with a more nebulous metric of success for the game’s latest season, despite CEO of Electronic Art, Andrew Wilson reporting that Season 9 and Season 10 had both set a record for the most active players in the game.

??Still, EA executives remain optimistic about the game’s future, expecting the launch of Apex Legends on mobile later this month to boost revenue for the company and the franchise in the coming fiscal year.

??EA’s Service Categories and Net worth ?Electronic Arts as a company specializes in providing digital interactive entertainment. It develops and publishes gaming titles for a variety of platforms, including mobile devices, internet-connected consoles, PCs, and tablets.?? The company’s services are used by over 300 million individuals around the world.

Electronic Arts has three core divisions: EA Mobile, EA Studios, and Maxis. ??Its first division is tasked with the designing and development of games with an improved user experience built specifically for mobile platforms. The second division assists in the development and launch of interactive games for mobile devices and tablets, with over 20 studios and 6,000 creators. The third, Maxis, is well known for its simulation games, including The Sims, Spore and SimCity. ??

The company’s net worth has risen since the previous year, indicating that it will continue to perform very well. The games being services that are mostly consumed indoors thrived as a result of COVID and global lockdowns. It was one of the few game franchises that did exceptionally well in 2020. ??

EA’s net worth is said to be $34.71 billion (as at April 29, 2022), and one might be curious to wonder how it earns its profits. Because the corporation is predominantly digital, many of its operations revolve around the delivery of digital material. ??The issue with digital products is that they are usually far less expensive to develop than physical items because they do not require the high cost of production. Furthermore, because the corporation has extensive digital distribution capabilities, it can sell its material much more easily.??

EA generates revenues from online sales each year. Consoles are the company’s biggest source of income, and that has been the company’s primary focus since its inception all those years ago. ??Live services, game downloads, and mobile are the three sectors that make up its annual revenue. EA has also managed the field smartly, resulting in a partnership with Disney in which EA will begin distributing all Star Wars games.??

The game publisher had earlier announced it will discontinue the creation of FIFA-branded football games from 2023, ending its partnership with the football governing body. It has, however, stated that it will continue to develop and publish football video games under a new name: EA Sports FC.
