Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson took home a truly staggering $38,649,984 in total compensation for fiscal year 2026, according to the company's newly filed 10-K report, and the timing couldn't look worse for a publisher that spent the same year cutting jobs across four Battlefield-focused studios despite the game's overall success.
