Rockstar UK workers vote on union recognition before GTA 6 launch
Rockstar Games employees in the United Kingdom are scheduled to hold a union vote from November 12 to November 26 as Grand Theft Auto 6 prepares for release.
Employment tribunal extends deadline
An employment tribunal between Rockstar and the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain has been extended past its original October end date. Closing arguments for this case are now expected to take place on November 17 or 18. These proceedings occur just before the anticipated launch of the new game.
Layoffs trigger union complaint
The IWUGB filed a complaint after Rockstar laid off more than 30 employees in October 2025. The company stated those departures resulted from misconduct involving the sharing of confidential information. Union members argue the firings targeted staff involved in organizing efforts.
Potential industry record union
A successful vote would establish the Rockstar Game Workers Union as the largest recognized group in the UK game industry. This development adds corporate drama to the cultural hype surrounding late November releases.
