SAG-AFTRA announces that it suspended its almost year-old strike today against the companies signatory to the Interactive Media Agreement. This follows the news of a tentative agreement for a new contract governing the use of voice acting in videogames. Employees are instructed to return to work immediately, while a meeting is scheduled for tomorrow to decide whether to have the union vote on the deal or not:

Pursuant to the authority previously delegated by the National Board, with the advice and consent of the Interactive Media Agreement (IMA) Negotiating Committee, National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland officially suspends the strike against the companies signatory to the Interactive Media Agreement, effective at noon PT today, Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

All SAG-AFTRA members are instructed to return to work on productions under the IMA, including work promoting or publicizing projects produced under the IMA.

The SAG-AFTRA National Board will meet in special session tomorrow, June 12, 2025, to consider the tentative agreement. If approved, it will be sent out for ratification by the union’s membership in accordance with established policy. Details of the agreement will be released at that time.
