The making of "Grand Theft Auto VI"

GTA VI Development

After nearly a decade in development, GTA VI is scheduled for release on November 19. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier said Rockstar’s recreation of Miami is unusually detailed. Developers visited the city for research, including helicopter rides, nightclub visits, police ride-alongs, and meetings with criminals.

Working Conditions

Rockstar has tried to address its history of “crunch,” or excessive overtime. Schreier said some staff still worked extra hours, but the company introduced a policy allowing employees to bank paid time off for overtime.

He said conditions appear better than during Red Dead Redemption 2, though it is unclear whether the problem has been resolved.

Union Dispute

Rockstar fired 34 employees, most of whom were reportedly involved in union organizing. The company says they were dismissed for leaking confidential information; the employees and union say the firings were union-busting.

The dispute is before a Scottish tribunal, while UK employees continue organizing and have sought voluntary union recognition.
