Games are for everyone, and EA aims to create amazing experiences for the hundreds of millions of players globally that are a true reflection of our diverse world. This illustrates the power of play in uniting an inclusive global player community, building meaningful connections, and transcending boundaries. This celebration of play and inclusion culminates each year with EA’s annual festival for players, EA PLAY.
