In May 2021, following the announcement that WarnerMedia would be merging with Discovery Inc., the exact status of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment was left uncertain, with some reports claiming that only portions of the company would be moved with the bulk of other WarnerMedia properties. Ultimately, the company would be retained under the name Warner Bros. Games as part of the newly merged Warner Bros. Discovery. However, one of the company's subsidiaries Playdemic was divested from the merger and sold to Electronic Arts later that year.
