Bethesda Game Studios has become the first Microsoft video game studio to fully unionise under the Communication Workers of America.
The union was formed after 241 developers, including artists, engineers, programmers and designers, either signed a union authorization card or indicated that they wanted union representation via an online portal. Microsoft has recognized the union.
“We, a majority of developers at Bethesda Game Studios Dallas, Rockville, and Austin, are ecstatic to announce the formation of our union with @CWAUnion,” the Bethesda union wrote on X.
