Grand Theft Auto VI developer Rockstar Games has been accused of union-busting by the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain after a recent round of layoffs. gameinformer.com/2025/11/03/g...

Rockstar, the developer of Grand Theft Auto VI, reportedly fired between 30 and 40 employees in a move that the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain is claiming was "blatant" and "ruthless" union busting.

Across the world, game dev unions are standing with us. @rockstargames.com - reinstate our members, now!

The Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has accused Rockstar of union busting after the studio reportedly dismissed 30 to 40 employees last Thursday (October 30) www.gamesindustry.biz/iwgb-accuses...

Rockstar accused of firing over 30 union members in 'calculated attack on workers'

Last week, Rockstar was accused of firing over 30 people for engaging in union activity. In a statement to Bloomberg (and subsequently Game Developer), Rockstar owner Take-Two said those workers were fired for "gross misconduct." Today, an IWGB rep told me there is no evidence that was the case.

The fact that some of the companies who run the games industry are fighting so hard to stop unionization just proves how much power the workers have when they stand together. This disgusting action only delays the inevitable; solidarity will win.

Dan Houser (co-founder and former Head Writer and VP of Creativity at Rockstar) acknowledges the critical role workers have had in the success of Rockstar’s titles, yet Rockstar is engaging in one of the most ruthless acts of union-busting in UK video game history. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar Games has been accused of "blatant and ruthless" union busting after reportedly firing over 30 developers across the UK and Canada. All affected workers were supposedly involved in trade union activity. Take-Two states the firings were for "gross misconduct."
