A lot of games will be affected by the SAG-AFTRA video game actors strike, but one of the most anticipated games of the next few years isn’t one of them. In a statement to Kotaku, it was confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 isn’t impacted by the strike.
“I can confirm GTA 6 is exempt,” a spokesperson for the publishers named in ongoing conversations said. The publication also learned that any games that were in development before September 2023 are unaffected, since that’s when the union voted to authorize the strike.
“Due to certain provisions in the IMA [Interactive Media Agreement] contract, games that were in production at the time that the union provided the company its notice of termination are not currently subject to strike order. Most notices were sent in September 2022,” SAG-AFTRA states.
It’s also unlikely to affect other huge titles coming out this year, including Dragon Age: The Veilguard and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
