ZeniMax Online Studios has voted to unionize, ensuring better worker protections amid unprecedented waves of video game industry layoffs.

The Game Awards This story is part of our coverage of The Game Awards 2024 Updated less than 1 minute ago The gaming industry has faced a tidal wave of difficulties this year, the most pressing of which involved the layoffs of thousands of workers from various positions and multiple companies. Microsoft alone made up 2,000 of the layoffs in January alone.

Microsoft has recognized the union, marking a major win for workers’ rights, according to a press release from the Communications Workers of America Union.

Sega of America unionized in March 2023, while a huge number of World of Warcraft staff created a union during the summer. In July, Bethesda Game Studios also fully unionized. Unfortunately, layoffs are still a real threat to the video game industry. According to Radio-Canada, WB Games Montreal laid off 99 people just this morning. Just a few days ago, People Can Fly announced more than 120 layoffs. The problem is an industrywide one that puts the livelihoods of developers in jeopardy. The teams behind some of our favorite games are impacted by this, and now some, like ZeniMax Online Studios, are forming unions to create protections against layoffs.
