Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson said EA “reignited momentum” for EA Sports FC in the fourth fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, after a “temporary slowdown” in fiscal Q3.

The January gameplay update – which was the biggest live service update EA ever launched in FC —
combined with outreach to the player community and our Team of the Year event, “resulted in a true brand building moment with our fans,” he said. Feedback improved and the cadence of flow-up updates helped the momentum continue.
