Overview
- Britain’s IWGB has filed formal legal claims after Rockstar declined talks, alleging union victimisation, collective dismissal and blacklisting, and seeking reinstatement for the workers.
- More than 200 Rockstar North employees, reported as 220 in some accounts, signed a letter demanding the immediate reinstatement of over 30 dismissed colleagues.
- Coordinated demonstrations are planned at Take-Two offices in London and Paris on November 14 and a march from Rockstar North to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on November 18, with France’s STJV backing the Paris action.
- Rockstar maintains the terminations were for gross misconduct tied to sharing confidential information in a public forum, a claim the union disputes as protected communications in private channels.
- UK MP Christine Jardine raised the case in Parliament, seeking ministerial support for affected workers, as publisher Take-Two reiterates support for Rockstar and the GTA VI launch remains delayed to November 19, 2026.
