Following Saudi Arabia's finalized majority acquisition of Electronic Arts in August, reports indicate the country is now exploring merging EA with Savvy Games Group, its state-backed gaming investment vehicle. The move would further consolidate Saudi influence over one of the industry's largest publishers. Additional reporting suggests the merger could bring major franchises like Pokémon Go (via Savvy-linked holdings) and EA Sports FC 'under one roof,' underscoring the scale of the potential combined entity and raising further questions about the concentration of gaming assets under Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
