Electronic Arts creates next‑level entertainment experiences that inspire players and fans around the world. Everyone is part of the story, part of a community that connects across the globe. A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

The EA Digital Platform (EADP) group is the core powering the global EA ecosystem. We provide the foundation for all of EA’s incredible games and player experiences with high‑level platforms like Cloud, Commerce, Data and AI, Gameplay Services, Identity and Social.
