GTA 6 launch gets new boost: Rockstar Games tells developers to return to office amid backlash
16.04.2024 - 06:23 / tech.hindustantimes.com / Jason Schreier
Rockstar Games has taken a significant step forward in the development of the highly anticipated GTA 6, with reports indicating that developers are returning to office spaces as of April 15, 2024. The decision, initially disclosed by reputable gaming industry insider Jason Schreier in February, aims to bolster security and productivity in the final stages of the game's creation.
However, this move has not been without controversy. While some fans anticipate the potential for increased updates and information regarding GTA 6, employees of Rockstar Games expressed discontent with the transition. Criticism from both staff members and the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has been directed at Rockstar for discontinuing remote work arrangements.

Today marks the commencement of a full-time return to office for Rockstar's studio personnel, as confirmed by insights from industry insider Ben (@videotechuk_). The shift requires employees to be present in the office five days a week, aligning with earlier reports from Schreier, Sportskeeda reported.
Schreier's initial announcement highlighted the dual objectives of enhancing security measures and streamlining productivity as GTA 6 inches closer to completion. However, dissenting voices within the company, as highlighted by statements on the IWGB's official platform, suggest that employees were not adequately consulted regarding this decision.
