GTA 6 Studio Rockstar Accuses Fired Employees of Leaking 'Confidential Information in a Public Forum'

Last week, Rockstar Games fired between 30 and 40 employees across its UK and Canada offices, accusing them of leaking confidential information and `gross misconduct`.
Members of a private trade-union Discord chat included labour organisers as the only outsiders, but Rockstar said employees shared company information with non-employees, citing a security breach.
Denouncing the move, the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain said the fired employees had all been involved with union efforts and Mr Alex Marshall said Rockstar was `afraid of hard-working staff privately discussing exercising their rights for a fairer workplace and a collective voice`.
Responding, Take-Two Interactive Software said it took action last week against a small number of individuals distributing confidential information, stressing it was unrelated to union activities.
These firings come ahead of Grand Theft Auto VI's May 26, 2026 release, after Rockstar increased security following a massive 2022 leak, while analysts predict a record-breaking launch.
