Rockstar Games wants to bring the developers back to their office for the development of GTA 6.
As reported by Bloomberg, this inquiry is based on directives from Jenn Kolbe, the company head of publishing. He communicated to the staff, saying the transition from hybrid working models is important for better productivity, more precisely as GTA 6 enters its final development phase.
A leak that occurred in September 2022, when hackers released an hour’s worth of Grand Theft Auto 6 footage, has shuffled Rockstar Games plans, and this, with the move away from hybrid working models and bringing the devs to the office, will result in much better security.
And it’s not just that. In December, the GTA 6 trailer was also leaked, which rushed Rockstar Games to reveal the original piece moments after it was leaked. Remote work is not as welcome, especially when you’re entering the final development stage.
Development studios have been used to this since COVID-19, but now that it’s gone, it’s better and safer for the company as a whole for them to be working from the office.
