Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson received a massive $38 million compensation package for the 2026 fiscal year, a figure driven by the record-shattering success of Battlefield 6. The payout marks an $8 million increase from the previous year, with SEC filings specifically citing the game’s high-quality launch as a key driver for meeting company objectives.
This financial milestone comes just months after a controversial round of layoffs in March 2026, which saw staff cut across all Battlefield studios. While the title continues to thrive with upcoming content updates, including a Top Gun crossover, many of the developers responsible for its creation were not present to share in the celebration.
