Rockstar UK Workers Plan Union Vote as GTA 6 Launch Looms

Workers at Rockstar Games in the UK are set to hold a union recognition vote just as the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 hits shelves, according to a report by TheGamer. The timing is significant: the vote comes amid a legal case alleging union-busting at the developer, which is expected to conclude next month. The union drive involves staff at Rockstar North in Edinburgh and Rockstar Lincoln, key studios behind the GTA franchise. While the exact union is not named in the source, the move reflects growing labor organizing in the games industry, where crunch and job security remain hot-button issues. The outcome could influence working conditions at one of the world’s most profitable game makers. If successful, it would mark a major shift for Rockstar, which has faced criticism over overtime during previous releases. As GTA 6 promises record sales, employees are seeking a stronger voice in how that success is shared.
