Rockstar Faces a Union Fight in the Months Before Launch
Reported by multiple outlets; contested and unresolved. In October, Rockstar dismissed 30–40 staff across UK and Canadian offices, all reportedly members of a private union Discord. Rockstar and Take-Two say the cause was gross misconduct — leaking features from unreleased projects. The IWGB disputes this, calling it “one of the most blatant and ruthless acts of union busting in the history of the games industry,” and the dismissed staff have taken legal action. The Rockstar Game Workers Union launched publicly on 28 May 2026 across all five UK offices. An employment tribunal declined Rockstar’s request to strike blacklisting claims, and the case is set to run in the months before the November release. We report the claims on both sides and take no position on the outcome.
