The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has reached agreements with developers behind 80 upcoming video games as part of its ongoing strike. The union, which has been on strike since July, is seeking improved working conditions and protections against the use of AI to alter actors' voices.
The agreements include tiered-budget or interim video game contracts with several developers, including Studio Wildcard, known for ARK: Survival Evolved; Little Bat Games, which is working on the indie title Vampire Therapist; and Francisco Gonzales, developer of retro-style point-and-click adventures such as Rosewater and Lamplight City.
This development follows SAG-AFTRA's recent announcement of its first agreement with Lightspeed LA, the Tencent-owned studio behind the upcoming open-world sci-fi game Last Sentinel.

The union's strike action, which began after 18 months of negotiations failed to yield satisfactory results, aims to address concerns over working conditions and to prevent the unauthorized use of AI to replicate or modify actors' performances.
SAG-AFTRA had been negotiating with a collective bargaining group that includes major industry players such as Activision, Blindlight, Disney, Electronic Arts, Formosa Interactive, Insomnia, Llama Productions, Take-Two Productions, VoiceWorks Productions, and WB Games.
