Developers at Rockstar Games have formed the Rockstar Game Workers Union, representing staff across its UK offices. The union, affiliated with the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB), aims to address issues such as pay transparency, flexible working, and the end of "crunch" periods. This move follows the dismissal of 31 union members in October 2026, which the IWGB labeled as union-busting, while Rockstar cited gross misconduct. The union is also fundraising for legal defense related to the dismissals, with the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI launch approaching. AI
