Media: GTA 6 enters final stage of development. Developers asked to return to office full-time

According to Bloomberg, Rockstar Games is asking its employees to switch to a five-day office work schedule starting from April this year as GTA 6 enters its final stage of development.

The company reportedly began sending out emails to employees in which Rockstar's head of publishing, Jenn Kolbe, explains the decision as a measure to «maintain security and productivity».

It's worth noting that Rockstar previously faced significant issues with GTA 6 data leaks. For instance, in 2022, numerous videos of the game's early version surfaced online, and at the end of 2023, someone leaked the debut trailer, forcing Rockstar to release it earlier than planned.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, many companies had shifted to remote work, making the sudden transition back to a standard office schedule a topic of lively debate, Bloomberg reports.

GTA 6 is scheduled for release in 2025 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Interestingly, preliminary information suggests that songs by American rapper Quincy Matthew Hanley might be featured in the game.
