Apple Arcade and EA could make a good team
Apple Arcade is the Cupertino giant’s only big venture into gaming so far, and, while there is a mix of great games (check out the best Apple Arcade games), it’s not in the same league as gaming giants PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. With a gaming company such as EA on its side, Apple could see a lot of room for growth. We’ve already made a case about Apple giving a damn about gaming, and an EA acquisition would get those wheels turning. EA is behind major franchises such as Apex Legends, The Sims, FIFA, Battlefield, and more. Although, the contract between EA and FIFA expires at the end of 2022, and EA CEO confirmed there would be no further contract. Still, Apple having access to these games to put on their own platforms would see a lot of attention, not to mention Apex Legends Mobile is now out in the wild. Apple’s own M1 chips and greater are more than capable of playing mainstream games, but the company just needs to unlock its true gaming potential. Acquiring a company like EA may be the kick Apple needs to venture deeper into gaming.
