Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) are in talks to take Unity Software private at a valuation of approximately $25 billion. According to Reuters, no agreement has been reached and terms could still change. This potential deal marks a second major gaming bet for the pair in quick succession.
Silver Lake and PIF were part of the consortium, alongside Affinity Partners, that took Electronic Arts private in a $55 billion deal that closed in August, one of the largest leveraged buyouts on record. A Unity buyout would also rank among the largest software take-privates of recent years.
