The beautiful game

Driving the mobile growth in Q1 was FIFA Mobile, which was said to have had its best month ever in June 2017. The game now has over 95 million unique players.

Other games driving growth included Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes and NBA Mobile. The latter has now surpassed 75 million unique players.

EA did not outline its future plans for mobile, but did note that live services across all platforms are becoming one of its biggest areas of revenue.

In terms of actual releases, the company currently has The Sims Mobile in soft launch, though a date for the game's full release has yet to be announced.
