GTA 6 Reportedly Now In Final Stages Of Development, As Workers Speak Out Against Return-To-Office Plans
A new report says Grand Theft Auto VI is in the final stages of development and that Rockstar Games has notified staff that they need to return to the office beginning very soon.
Bloomberg reported (via IGN) that Rockstar is mandating staffers come back to the office five days per week starting in April. The report said this was due in part to concerns around security. GTA VI previously suffered a huge hack that led to video footage and images from the game being posted online back in September 2022. At the time, it was reported that the leak stemmed from an employee Slack account. GTA VI’s first trailer, too, leaked early.
Rockstar’s head of publishing, Jenn Kolbe, said in a memo to staff obtained by Bloomberg, “Making these changes now puts us in the best position to deliver the next Grand Theft Auto at the level of quality and polish we know it requires, along with a publishing roadmap that matches the scale and ambition of the game.”
