SAG-AFTRA has introduced an agreement that lets game developers hire union performers for pitches to secure production funding. It covers projects that have secured no more than 30% of their initial production funding.

Pitch materials can include trailers, playable prototypes or a short section that shows how the finished game might play. The agreement limits these materials to fundraising. They cannot be commercially released, made available for public viewing or play, or presented as a complete game.

Developers who meet only some of the conditions can ask the union for a waiver.
