Video-game maker Electronic Arts Inc., is in talks to be taken private by a consortium led by Silver Lake Management, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners, according to people familiar with the matter.

The company, known for popular titles such as Madden NFL, The Sims and Battlefield, could announce a deal as soon as next week, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is working on a financing package for the buyers, the people added.

A takeover of Electronic Arts would rank among the biggest deals announced so far in 2025 and potentially the largest leveraged buyout of all time, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
