Rockstar Games has confirmed that the GTA VI leaks are true, following a legal decision that has drawn attention across the gaming industry. The company said the information leaked online was a violation of its strict policy against confidential leaks, prompting the firing of several employees allegedly involved in the incident.
A UK court has rejected a request for temporary financial assistance by former employees while the case of alleged unfair dismissal is heard. Rockstar has clarified that the move is not related to union issues, but rather part of its zero-tolerance policy against disclosing sensitive information about unannounced projects.
The former employees' side continues to insist that due process was not followed, including disciplinary hearings and appeals, and has challenged the alleged surveillance of private online space. While the highly anticipated GTA VI has been delayed until 2026, the outcome of this case is expected to have a major impact on the balance of power, worker rights, and information security in the world of AAA gaming.
