"The Sims capped FY25 with a historic Q4,” said Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts.
Honestly I think EA Entertainment should be renamed The Sims Entertainment.
Andrew Wilson, CEO, Electronic Arts: "As we celebrated the twenty fifth birthday of The Sims, the franchise delivered double digit year over year growth in net bookings in Q4.
This growth reflects successful player reengagement and the continued impact of our strategy to expand the global audience and elevate community connection. Highlights included the release of a new expansion pack, Businesses and Hobbies, the return of The Sims 1 and 2 and the release of creator made kits. This marks the best fourth quarter net bookings performance for the franchise ever and paves the way for our continued expansion of The Sims universe over the next several years."
Stuart Canfield, CFO, Electronic Arts: "The Sims franchise delivered over 30% net bookings growth in Q4, driven by the 20 birthday celebrations that reignited player engagement and accelerated reengagement across the community. The re release of legacy titles combined with targeted updates aligned to our broader franchise roadmap drove higher attach rates, particularly among casual spenders. On a GAAP basis, we delivered net revenue of $1,900,000,000 up 7%. Cost of revenue was $368,000,000 resulting in a gross margin of 80.6% supported by favorable digital mix."
Andrew Wilson, CEO, Electronic Arts: "The Sims closed the year with its strongest ever performance, reaffirming its place as a cultural icon and a vibrant platform for creativity and community. "
