FIFA 23 News: Reports suggest Amazon are set to secure HUGE takeover of Electronic Arts


FIFA 23 is just around the corner, with EA's sports' solo footballing outing - EA Sports FC - lurking on the horizon.

EA has started hoovering up some impressive license deals, but a major takeover could be about to change everything.

Check below to find out about the potential takeover of Electronic Arts but Amazon.

Amazon Takeover

Reports are suggesting that Amazon - one of the richest companies in the world - are set to complete a takeover of Electronic Arts.

The report comes after weeks of speculation of an EA buyout, with Disney and Apple also listed as potential suitors.

The initial report suggests that Amazon will announce a formal bid today, with the tycoon set to take on titles such as Apex Legends, FIFA and Madden.

The acquisition could be seen as a direct reaction to Microsoft's recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

Conflicting Reports

As with any rumour, we have reports that are debunking the initial leaks, with some suggesting that Amazon has no intention of making a buyout offer for EA.

With only an hour difference between strong initial reports and reports now debunking the takeover, time will truly tell-all with regards to this one.

Either way, it's look increasingly likely that Electronic Arts will be bought out soon, leading to major implications for the FIFA and EA Sports FC series moving forward.

EA Sports FC Implications

Twitch Prime Gaming Packs have been a feature in Ultimate Team for a while now, much to the delight of FUT fanatics.

With EA also branching out into live football highlights - and with Amazon owning the rights to showcase a number of Premier League games a season - we could see live football integrated into our football games like never before.
