Rockstar Games is once again under scrutiny after UK authorities revealed that several employees at its Rockstar North studio were underpaid in 2025. According to official data, five workers were owed a combined £1,396.73, adding to the company’s growing list of legal and workplace-related issues in recent years.

While the unpaid wages are relatively small in scale, the timing raises concerns as Rockstar prepares for the highly anticipated release of GTA 6. With past layoffs, legal disputes, and even a recent studio fire, the company faces mounting pressure to resolve internal issues while keeping development on track.
