Jared Kushner’s private equity firm and a group of large investors are in talks to buy out the video game company Electronic Arts in what could be one of the largest such deals ever, according to two people briefed on the discussion.

Mr. Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, along with other investors including the Saudi sovereign wealth fund and Silver Lake Partners are in talks to take the publicly traded company private.

The people, who requested anonymity because the talks are confidential, said a deal could value the company, the maker such popular games as Madden N.F.L. and Battlefield, at around $50 billion.

The talks come as deal making is roaring back to life on Wall Street after executives took a pause during the stock gyrations that followed the introduction of President Trump’s tariff plans last spring. Soaring stocks, and renewed optimism that financiers can get their deals approved by regulators in the Trump administration, have led many to reconsider big transactions.

Among the deals announced in the last few months are Union Pacific’s $85 billion deal for Norfolk Southern and Keurig Dr Pepper’s $18 billion acquisition of Peet’s.

Shares of Electronic Arts rose nearly 15 percent on Friday after The Wall Street Journal first reported the talks, giving it a market value of around $48 billion.
