Rockstar Games Fires Employees for Leaking Confidential Information Amid Union Controversy

Nov 06, 2025 05:01 pm CST

Rockstar Games has terminated 30-40 employees in the UK and Canada for allegedly sharing confidential information in public forums, contradicting union claims that the firings were meant to disrupt unionization efforts. The security-focused company, still recovering from a major 2022 leak of Grand Theft Auto VI footage, maintains these actions were necessary policy enforcement while labor organizations call it "blatant union busting" as development continues on the highly anticipated game set for 2026 release.
