EA Digital Illusions CE

Sweden Founded 2006 Website

Founded in 1992 by four friends from the Amiga demo scene, DICE (then Digital Illusions) created the cult hit Pinball Dreams for the Amiga. Ten years later, the pivotal Battlefield 1942 would change the future of online gaming and DICE forever. Today, the studio develops Battlefield, Mirror’s Edge and Star Wars Battlefront games. And we are just getting warmed up.

EA Digital Illusions CE at a Glance

EA Digital Illusions CE, commonly known as DICE, is a Swedish developer that has been active since 2006 under its current corporate structure. Although the studio traces its roots back to 1992 when it created Pinball Dreams for the Amiga, the data on PlayPile covers their work from 2006 through 2025. They have released a total of 31 titles as a developer. Their output peaked in the 2010s with 20 games, while they released five titles in the 2000s and six so far in the 2020s. The company focuses heavily on the shooter genre with 28 entries in their catalog. They also have seven adventure games, two platformers, two strategy games, and minor releases in puzzle, simulator, and racing categories. Their reach spans multiple platforms, with PC being the primary home for 26 of their games. Consoles are well represented as well, with fourteen games each on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. They also have titles on older hardware like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, plus newer systems such as the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and even a single release for Android, iOS, and PlayStation VR. Quality control varies across their portfolio but generally stays above average. The average IGDB rating sits at 75.2 out of 100 based on nineteen rated titles. Their track record includes eight great games rated 80 or higher and ten good titles scoring between 60 and 79. They have one mixed entry and no poor-rated games in the dataset. Top performers include Star Wars Battlefront II: Celebration Edition from 2019, which scored 86.6. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 both follow closely with scores of 84.1 and 84 respectively. Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 3 also earned high marks in the low eighties. Recent history shows a dip in reception before a return to form. Battlefield 2042 released in late 2021 with a score of 63.6, landing it in the good range but far below their peak successes. However, the most recent release, Battlefield 6 in October 2025, scored an 80, indicating a recovery to great status. The studio continues to expand its catalog with multiple editions of their recent flagship titles, maintaining a consistent presence in the shooter market for nearly two decades.
