Workers at 2K’s motion capture studio in Petaluma, California have reached and unanimously ratified their first union contract with Take-Two Interactive management, marking a historic first for motion capture video game workers in the United States.
The Petaluma studio plays an important role in motion capture production, and the workers’ successful contract campaign adds to growing momentum for unionization across the video game industry.
The new agreement secures key workplace gains, including wage floor minimums and yearly wage increases, protected benefits, protections related to scanned likeness and artificial intelligence, and more.
