EA CEO gets $38 million bonus after Battlefield 6 success, devs were laid off

Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson landed a massive $38.7 million pay package for the last financial year, according to reports. The bonus represents an $8 million raise over the previous year.

IGN and Eurogamer report that the payout was tied to the performance of games like *Battlefield 6*, which reportedly hit "all milestones." Company executives saw significant bonuses as a result of the financial success.

The news arrives just months after EA conducted widespread layoffs across multiple studios, including developers who worked on *Battlefield 6*. PC Gamer notes the contrast, pointing out that the team responsible for the game's success is not around to share in the rewards.
