Overview
- Rockstar told Bloomberg it dismissed roughly 30–40 workers for distributing and discussing confidential information in a public forum that included non-employees.
- Parent company Take-Two described the terminations across UK and Canada studios as for "gross misconduct," denying any link to organizing rights.
- The IWGB counters that the workers were in a private union Discord group with only labor organizers as outsiders and alleges targeted union busting.
- Protests have been held and a demonstration is set for Nov. 6 outside Take-Two’s London office, with the union signaling legal action.
- Neither Rockstar nor Take-Two has detailed what was leaked, while GTA VI remains scheduled for May 26, 2026 amid heightened security after a costly 2022 breach.
