GTA 6 is unaffected by the newly called video game voice actors strike because it's been in𒊎 production for more🌼 than a year.

Yesterday, it was announced by SAG-AFTRA that video game acto𝔍rs represented by the organization are set to str🐷ike against a number of developers and publishers to secure better protections against AI. The strike will commence today, July 26, and cover companies included in the Interactive Media Agreement, like Activision, EA, and Take-Two Productions.

, games that have been in production for a year or more, and live service games, won't be affected by the strike, and it's safe to say GTA 6 has been in development for a lot longer than that.

SAG-AFTRA specifically confirmed that GTA 6 is unaffected by the voice actor's stri﷽ke, as reported by Gach on . Any SAG-AFTRA-associated voice actors that are currently working on Rockstar's game will be allowed to continue working as normal while the strike goes on.

"Due to certain provisions in the IMA [Interactive Media Agreement] contract, games that were in production at the time that the union provided the com🔯pany its notice of termination are not currently subject to strike order. Most notices were sent in September 2022," SAG-AFTRA states, which explains the one-year development rule for in-production games.

"We served✱ a separate notice relating to live service games, which we can strike in less than 60 ꩵdays. We will update the membership if we expand the strike order to include those games closer to that time," the union continues. So live service titles are exempt from the strike, but that may not be the case if the strike runs for more than 60 days.

This is unconfirmed for now, but this could mean a number of big-time games on the horizon might also be exempt from the strike, including the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dragon Age: The Veilguard, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Shadows, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Outlaws, and more.
