Rockstar Games Faces Criticism Over Return-to-Office Directive

A long-awaited teaser trailer for GTA 6 was recently unveiled, stoking excitement among Grand Theft Auto fans awaiting the game’s release in 2025. Set to be the culmination of years of development, Rockstar North in Scotland is currently putting the finishing touches on the highly anticipated title.

Amid the buzz surrounding Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games finds itself embroiled in controversy as it mandates a return to office work for developers. This decision has evoked strong reactions from employees and the gaming community alike.

Rockstar Games communicated the return-to-office directive to its team on February 28, insisting that most employees must be physically present in the office five days a week starting April 15, 2024, as decreed by publishing director Jenn Kolbe. Yet, this move has not been well-received by the developers who have voiced their discontent and concerns regarding the added time constraints.

It’s worth acknowledging that while Rockstar North spearheads GTA 6’s development, the studio collaborates with other game development studios across the UK and globally. The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain, representing game developers, issued a statement rebuking Rockstar for allegedly reneging on their commitments.

Rather than quoting, employees have highlighted the lack of consultation concerning the return-to-office policy, speculating that this decision could potentially pave the way for resurfacing exploitative ‘crunch’ practices in the industry.
