Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson received about $38.7 million in bonus and compensation for the 2026 financial year, according to EA’s filings cited by multiple outlets. Several reports say his bonus increased by roughly $8 million and that the company links the payment to performance at “all milestones,” including the launch success of Battlefield 6. One outlet also reports that Battlefield 6 sells well, including a figure of 7 million copies in three days, while other coverage emphasizes the game’s overall success rather than specific sales timing.
Other reporting focuses on the timing and workforce impact: EA lays off developers across multiple studios, including teams associated with Battlefield 6, in the same financial year. Outlets describe the layoffs as a studio realignment or restructuring while EA continues to point to product performance and an executed AI strategy as business highlights.
Additional details in the coverage include that Wilson’s compensation includes bonus payments and stock options, and that EA’s report also references higher security and travel arrangements, including private flights. The coverage collectively portrays a contrast between executive compensation and job cuts during the same period.
