And every day, it is inspiring to work alongside such talented and dedicated people. It's been a strong year to date, and we're confident in our plans to drive continued growth in the years ahead. Now Blake and I are here for your questions. First, I was just wondering if you could provide us an update on your outlook for some of your new mobile titles like Apex Legends and Battlefield.
And then second, I was just wondering if you could offer some thoughts on the FIFA license, how aggressively will you negotiate for that? And what are some of the contingencies that you have planned for that one? Thank you. We have not put into our guidance, virtually any revenue for either Apex Mobile or Battlefield Mobile this year. Apex Mobile is currently in test in multiple countries around the world.
And we never quite know exactly when we're going to get out of test markets, but we're very pleased with the progress so far, which means we could bring it out earlier, but I would say that most of it is really focused on next year, which we think is a positive since this year is so strong. It will continue to help next year. And I would put Battlefield in that same category. And I would just cover off it. The metrics that we're getting out of those games continues to be very strong.
And so we continue to be confident about the opportunity around both of them. And with respect to license negotiation, I would start by saying we have great relationships with all of our partners, all of them, including FIFA. As we think about the future of football, we think the future is very bright.
We think we are part of the very fabric of the culture of football globally, an important part of kind of fandom for football. And when we kind of interact with our hundreds of millions of football fans, they tell us they want more cultural brand involvement from across the globe. They want more modalities at play inside the game, which go beyond just straight 11 on 11 football.
They want more digital experiences outside the game, esports, NFTs broader sports consumption and they want us to move really, really quickly.
And so I would tell you, as we think about the future of football, we think it's very bright. We're going to work with our global collection of partners that we feel best enable us to do that. And we'll continue our conversations with each and every one of them to the extent that they're aligned with that objective. I just have two questions for you. The first one is, how should we think about Apex Legends live services and maybe even a comment or two on Battlefield's live services as we kind of head through the holiday and to next year.
Is it just a matter of more content, better efficiency on monetization? Or how should we think about the live services there? Yes, I think what I talked about in the prepared remarks is that the Apex Legends team has really been very thoughtful and deliberate about the development and the building of this live service and the community support in the very beginning. And it starts with core gameplay.
And what we've seen them be able to do is bring in more players each and every season and kind of our weekly active and our monthly active players has grown throughout the cycle so far. They add new models of play, so things like rent modes and arenas. They add new events that are important and kind of more deeply engage the community. And so I think that as we think about live service on a go-forward basis, you should expect that thing to continue to be thoughtful and deliberate, they'll continue to build out modalities of play, they'll continue to create more content, but also really work with the community on community level advance which really drive the most engagement over time.
And we continue to be very confident this is going to be a really, really strong global franchise for us for at least a decade.
Got it. And then just as a second question, Andrew, I'm just kind of high level, you're pretty forward-thinking CEO when it comes to technology. How do you see things like play to earn opportunities within the video game space? There seems to be a bit of an argument on whether that's good or bad for gaming. Anything that brings more people in and engages those people for more time in the context of the entertainment it would create I think it's a good thing over time.
I think that is the very foundation of our live services. I think the play to earn or the NFT conversation is still really, really early, and there's a lot of conversation.
And there's at some level, a lot of hype about it. I do think it will be an important part of the future of our industry on a go-forward basis.
But it's still early to kind of figure out how that's going to work. I feel good about our position with respect to that. I mean, as a company, we have been leaders in the creation of digital content that has real collectible value in the embedding of that content as part of live services.
What we know about collection over time is the collectibility is far more valuable to the collector where the collected item has utility. And I think that in the context of the games that we create and the live services that we offer, collectible digital content is going to play a meaningful part in our future. So still early to tell, but I think we're in a really good position, and you should expect us to kind of think more innovatively and creatively about that on a go-forward basis.
In your commentary, you alluded to some softness in the mobile market. I was wondering if you could just talk a little bit more about what you've seeing.
Some of what your peers have sort of reported numbers that would suggest there was some sequential softening in the market. Do you think it's due to IDFA? Do you think there's different dynamics in play with kind of pandemic restrictions easing in mobile versus console? Any color you can give would be helpful. Yes, I was going to say, I think that when we look across our mobile portfolio, we feel like we're in a really good position on a go-forward basis.
We've got strong teams. We've got strong IP. We've got a huge network of players and we've got global reach. And we're already seeing the value of that when you think about our ability to kind of offer EA IP for Glu Mobile folks or our Playdemic folks to start thinking about new and interesting experiences.
I do think we've seen some softness in some of our games particularly those that rely a little bit more on user acquisition. I think that we'll work through that over time. Again, creative talent, great IP, huge network of players and global reach allow us kind of work through that and find a path through that. But net-net, I think that there is a little IDFA, but nothing that has us concerned about our ability to continue to grow our mobile business over time. And Doug, I would say, don't underestimate that in any -- I mean, we did four acquisitions in one year.
There are always challenges to integration of acquisitions, and sometimes those challenges are we change plans inside the businesses. There are things that we may not have anticipated or fully understood. And so some of that is impacting. None of it is troublesome. None of it is long term in our mind, and we're doing a great job in the integration.
It just happened also quickly. You can't plan exactly when acquisitions are going to happen. We're very excited about the Glu team and the Playdemic team, as Andrew mentioned in his comments. And I think going forward, we're in a really good position. And I think for us, the biggest opportunity is -- and this is an obvious one, and that is how do we take our existing sports licenses and the talent that the Glus and the Playdemics have in the sports side and drive new sports products through that talent base or have them help our talent drive better products across those licenses.
And it's a huge opportunity for us. And so that's why we're so excited about the acquisitions and not all that worried about any short-term softness in the business. This is David on for Alexia. Just with Battlefield, maybe you could discuss the key learnings from the beta. How much should we read into participation for the early access period as an indicator of demand.
And I wonder if you just had any comment on the risk of, if any, of releasing the game a week prior to Black Friday, I think this was somewhat of a challenge for the game in So I think that on balance, the feedback from the beta was overwhelmingly positive.
I think there was some conversation around some elements of the beta, which is not unnatural in beta. And we've been able to take that feedback around those constructive elements and really implement that in the game. And I think what we had talked about with the community is, it was an earlier build of the game that we used for the beta as the team continued to work and tune and polish the final build for the game.
So we feel really good about that. I think when you think about the early access numbers and the engagement numbers overall, you should read that as tremendous demand. The game is very appealing. The setting is very appealing the modalities have play the innovation and creativity that and the other people that work on that game have put into the game is something that the community is receiving very, very well and is really, really excited about.
I wouldn't read too much into the week before Black Friday. I get that on a calendar basis, it looks the same as Battlefield 5, I would tell you though, leading in the Battlefield 5, we did not see the level of demand we are seeing now. We did not have the level of innovation in the game that we have now.
We didn't have new platform technology driving a high fidelity game experience that we have now. And so net-net, coming out of the data, we feel very good about play demand.
The team has been working very hard on tuning and polish and filing the game where we feel really good about the game at the that the community is going to get to play on day one. And the team also has wonderful plans for the future live service that staff with this notion of portal and really engaging our players deeply in the ability to kind of create their own Battlefield experiences. The other thing I'd remember about Black Friday is that in the years past, there may have been five times more games in the marketplaces there will be this year.
