With its live service games, Apex Legends leads the charge with $3.4 billion in lifetime net bookings. The Sims 4 also remains a powerhouse, boasting a player base of 85 million and experiencing double-digit year-over-year (yoy) growth in FY24. The Sims franchise, as a whole, has surpassed 500 million downloads across various platforms, and The Sims 4 players can anticipate 15 content updates planned for this year.
In a call to investors, EA CEO Andrew Wilson reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the Battlefield series, noting that it has assembled the “largest Battlefield development team in franchise history.” This group includes seasoned studios like DICE and Motive, promising to mix the former’s Frostbite technology with the latter’s storytelling expertise to craft a sprawling Battlefield experience with innovative multiplayer and single-player adventures.
