Tribunal on Rockstar Firings of GTA 6 Staff Opens Sept. 10

An employment tribunal into Rockstar Games‘ dismissal of several staff who worked on Grand Theft Auto 6 will open on Sept. 10. The hearing will begin with preliminary matters and case management before moving to substantive issues.

The opening session is set to address procedural topics such as disclosure of documents, scheduling and the timetable for the case. If required, the tribunal will set dates for evidence, witness testimony and further hearings.

Court filings submitted ahead of the hearing do not detail the precise allegations or list a full set of claimants. The exact number of former employees involved has not been disclosed publicly.

The dispute concerns staff who had worked on Grand Theft Auto 6, a long-running project at Rockstar Games that involves teams across multiple studio locations. Rockstar Games has not issued detailed comments about the individual cases.

Employment tribunals hear claims including unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and discrimination. Outcomes can include financial compensation or, in limited circumstances, other remedies ordered by the tribunal.

The Sept. 10 session is expected to set a timetable for the presentation of evidence and any subsequent hearings. The case will proceed through the tribunal process in the coming weeks, with further hearings to follow if the timetable requires them.

No full list of claims or statements from the employees involved has been published ahead of the opening hearing.
