Workers at GTA 6 developer Rockstar will soon get to vote on recognizing a union.
The union, IWGB Union at Rockstar, is for Rockstar’s UK-based developers. Rockstar North, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, is one of Rockstar’s biggest outfits in the UK, and the lead developer on GTA 6.
The negotiating process between the union and Rockstar management took months, and the union, if recognized, would give workers a stronger seat at the table for key issues like pay and bonuses, overtime, generative AI policies, work-from-home setups, and situations involving layoffs.

The IWGB Rockstar Game Workers Union would become the largest in the UK video game sector, if it’s voted in.
The voting period–November 12-26–overlaps with the release of GTA 6 on November 19.
At the same time, an employment tribunal over claims that Rockstar fired developers for trying to form a union is coming to a close, with final arguments set for November 17 and November 18. More than 30 IWGB members were let go from Rockstar in the UK in October 2025, with the union saying Rockstar fired them for trying to form a union. Rockstar, for its part, said the staffers were dismissed
