GTA 6 Developer Rockstar Says It Was Forced to Put Privacy Films on Its Buildings After Drones Were Used to Snap Photos Through Office Windows
Rockstar Games has released its opening note in the employment tribunal to determine the fate of the 31 GTA 6 developers it fired last year, and in doing so has revealed the extreme lengths it goes to in order to prevent security breaches.
Rockstar Games has revealed the stringent measures it employs to safeguard the confidentiality of GTA 6, the anticipated blockbuster game set to launch in November 2026. The developer, facing allegations of unlawful dismissal of 31 staff members who reportedly leaked game details through Discord, asserts that the leaks were a direct result of attempts to unionize.
The company maintains that stringent security protocols, including the prohibition of photography and external storage devices, were necessary to protect against potential breaches, which could impact Take-Two’s share price. Rockstar has likened its security measures to those of Wall Street banks and employs an extensive team dedicated to monitoring for and investigating potential data leaks.
The company has faced repeated security breaches, including a recent hacking attempt that attempted to blackmail the organization. The tribunal, set to run until October 16, 2025, prior to the game's release, will hear claims from the Independent Workers of Great Britain union seeking reinstatement of the dismissed employees or compensation, while also seeking a ruling that their dismissals were unfair.
