Bethesda union plans 'Save Our Devs' march next week to protest Xbox layoffs after 440 ZeniMax cuts

Bethesda union members will stage a "Save Our Devs" march next week to protest Xbox's layoffs after 440 ZeniMax cuts, according to Reddit r/technology. The move underscores rising labor tensions across gaming as Microsoft restructures its studios under an Xbox "reset." With studios restructuring in recent weeks, the demonstration signals growing pushback from developers worried about job security, and organizers describe the campaign as "our next steps are to mobilize," per the Reddit post.

The Reddit post says the protest will span Bethesda’s four offices, with coordinated actions planned the same day. TechGlobal.news has requested comment from Microsoft and Bethesda on the planned action and the status of affected teams; no schedule or route details were immediately available. Watch for confirmed dates, office-by-office plans, and whether management engages with organizers ahead of the march. [Developing. This article will be updated.]
