On October 22, 2013, Electronic Arts Inc. ("EA") issued a
press release which announced that the planned release date for the
Titanfall
entertainment software product being developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA, initially anticipated to be released after March 31, 2014, is

On

The Sims 4
entertainment software product, initially anticipated to be released before March 31, 2014, is planned to occur in fall 2014. A
copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
Based on current estimates, these planned release date changes will not affect our fiscal
year 2014 non-GAAP guidance for revenues or earnings.

current expectations, and involve subjects that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from expected results expressed in forward-looking statements. We will not necessarily update information
if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
June 30, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 2, 2013, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2013
