| Acquisition | 2018-05 | — | GameFly's Israel-based cloud gaming unit (formerly Playcast Media Systems) Acquired the cloud gaming technology and roughly 50-person Israeli team of GameFly's streaming subsidiary in Caesarea (originally the Israeli startup Playcast Media Systems, which GameFly bought in 2015). The team became EA's Israel development center working on cloud game streaming. | |
| Operations in Israel | 2018 | — | EA Israel development center (Caesarea) Operated an R&D center in Caesarea, Israel ('EA Israel') developing cloud gaming technology from mid-2018 until April 2023, when EA closed the center and laid off the entire team as part of a global cut of more than 700 jobs (about 6% of its workforce). This ended EA's development presence in Israel, though the legal entity Electronic Arts Israel Ltd remained listed among EA's subsidiaries in its FY2026 annual report. |
