More than 100 Hasbro employees working on the Magic: The Gathering video game are organizing with the Communications Workers of America to form a union.

The unionization effort targets staff involved in designing the digital adaptation of the collectible card game. The Communications Workers of America is leading the organizing campaign. This move reflects broader labor activism in the video game industry, where workers have increasingly pursued union representation over the past two years. Game developers have cited concerns about working conditions, compensation, and job stability. Hasbro has not yet publicly responded to the unionization effort. The outcome will depend on whether organizers secure majority support from eligible employees and navigate the formal recognition process. Magic: The Gathering has maintained a significant presence in digital gaming through multiple titles. The franchise remains a major revenue driver for Hasbro's entertainment division.
