EA, based in Redwood City, California, acquired Distinctive Software in 1991 for $11 million and renamed them EA Canada. At the time of the business acquisition, Distinctive Software was noted for developing a number of racing and sporting games published under the Accolade brand. Since becoming EA Canada, it has developed many EA Games, EA Sports, and EA Sports BIG games. EA acquired Black Box Games in 2002 and it became part of EA Canada under name EA Black Box. It later became an independent EA studio in 2005. Since its acquisition, EA Black Box has been home to the Need for Speed franchise, among others.

EA Graphics LibraryEA Graphics Library or EAGL is a game engine which was created and developed by EA Canada. It is the main engine used in some of EA's games, notably the Need for Speed series, but was also used in a few sports titles from EA Sports. Hot Pursuit 2 and Underground use the first version of the EAGL engine (EAGL 1), Underground 2 uses EAGL 2, Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Carbon use EAGL 3, ProStreet and Need for Speed Undercover use EAGL 4 (the latter using a modified version, with the Heroic Driving Engine). World uses a modified EAGL 3 engine with the physics of the earlier games with an external GUI programmed in Adobe Flash. However, under The Run development, EA Black Box dropped its custom engine and adopted Frostbite 2 engine.[2] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://jobs.ea.com/locations/canada/vancouver/ |title=Electronic Arts |publisher=EA |date=2013-05-09 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622081111/https://jobs.ea.com/locations/canada/vancouver/ |archivedate=2013-06-22 |df= }} 2. ^[https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/128765/Opinion_Why_On_Earth_Would_We_Write_Our_Own_Game_Engine.php Opinion: Why On Earth Would We Write Our Own Game Engine?], Gamasutra, December 19, 2011 External links
