(Reuters) -Electronic Arts Inc on Wednesday forecast current-quarter adjusted sales above estimates, as the videogame publisher bets on a strong performance from mainstay titles like "FIFA 21" and "Apex Legends", sending its shares up nearly 5%.
Redwood City, California-based EA also raised its annual sales forecast, but that missed estimates, ahead of a likely slowdown in gaming as world economies inch back to normal, enticing gamers to ditch their consoles and step outside.
