SAG-AFTRA Expands Indie Game Contract to Cover $30M Projects

New tier in the Interactive Media Agreement includes AI protections and additional pay for digital replicas.

The agreement now covers game projects with budgets between $15 million and $30 million.
Actors receive informed consent and compensation for the use of digital replicas.
