Summary
Employees at Rockstar Games are seeking to unionize ahead of the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), following a wave of unionization efforts across the video game industry at studios like Bethesda, Activision Blizzard, and Ubisoft. The push comes after 31 employees were laid off at Rockstar's UK studio late last year, which the company attributed to sharing confidential GTA 6 information.
