The ongoing dispute over Rockstar's October 2025 firing of 34 GTA 6 developers, including 31 in the UK and three in Canada, has now seen the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain ask a judge for interim relief for the affected employees.

As IGN reports, at a January 5 hearing at Glasgow, Scotland's Tribunals Centre, the IWGB pressed for interim relief – which would grant fired employees payroll and, where applicable, work visa reinstatement ahead of full trial determination – accusing Rockstar of "brutal union-busting".
