The SAG-AFTRA voice actors strike concluded after nearly a year on June 11, 2025, following an agreement with game companies under the Interactive Media Agreement. The tentative agreement, which is pending ratification, promises improved pay, protections against AI, and an emphasis on performer contributions to the gaming industry. After the strike impacted major games, stakeholders expressed optimism for future collaborations. Notably, the deal includes a 24% wage increase and stringent requirements for the use of digital replicas, reflecting ongoing negotiations to safeguard voice actors' rights.
We are pleased to have reached a tentative contract agreement that reflects the important contributions of SAG-AFTRA-represented performers in video games.
This agreement builds on three decades of successful partnership between the interactive entertainment industry and the union.
It delivers historic wage increases of over 24% for performers, enhanced health and safety protections, and industry-leading AI provisions.
The SAG-AFTRA National Board will meet in special session tomorrow to consider the tentative agreement.
