Bethesda Game Studios workers have voted to join the Communications Workers of America, forming the first wall-to-wall union at a Microsoft video game studio. The union, recognized by Microsoft, encompasses 241 workers including artists, engineers, programmers, and designers. This unionization covers employees in Maryland and Texas. Bethesda Game Studios, known for developing popular games such as Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Starfield, achieved this milestone through a card check process. Microsoft had pledged last year to remain neutral in union campaigns.
