Double Fine workers unionize in the face of major Xbox strategy shifts

Double Fine, an Xbox-owned studio, filed to unionize with the National Labor Relations Board on May 7.

The 42 full-time and part-time employees are organizing with the Communications Workers of America.

Microsoft said it will remain neutral and not interfere with the effort.

The move comes as new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma makes major policy and leadership changes across Xbox.

It highlights growing labor organizing at Xbox studios as workers seek protections amid shifting priorities at Microsoft Gaming.
