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.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is unaffected by the video game voice actors strike

The SAG-AFTRA strike for video games has begun, and speculation on what games will be affected is in full swing. But according to a new report, GTA 6 is in the clear. Yesterday, the guild voted to authorize a strike against several video game companies for their use of AI to try and cut costs, specifically against using AI to either alter or replace voice actors altogether. One of the companies being protested is Take-Two Interactive, the company that owns Rockstar Games, which is developing the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6. The sequel won’t be released until 2025, but that hasn’t stopped speculation as to whether or not the strike will cause the game to be delayed. After all, last summer’s SAG-AFTRA strike led to several movies being delayed and television shows to cease production until last November.

Video game actors are going on strike for the first time since 2017 after months of negotiations with Activision, Epic Games, and other big publishers and studios over higher pay, better safety measures, and protections from new generative AI technologies. They’ll be hitting the picket line a year after Hollywood actors and writers wrapped up their own historic strikes in an escalation that could have big consequences for the development and marketing of some of the industry’s biggest games.

George Lucas created Star Wars, but that doesn’t mean he actually knew what he wanted to do with it, says an early series producer. Ever since Star Wars debuted in theaters in 1977 (and hastily given the subtitle A New Hope shortly after, in the first of many retcons), fandom has looked to George Lucas for guidance. Even during the initial backlash to the prequel trilogy, when audiences were puzzled by midi-chlorian counts and galactic economics, there was never any question that Lucas had a vision.
