The developer behind the Grand Theft Auto games has asked employees to return to the office five days a week from April, per Bloomberg, as it enters the final stages of development for the franchise's next installment, "Grand Theft Auto VI."

But in the run-up to the release of "Grand Theft Auto VI," Rockstar, which adopted remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, has had several security issues to contend with.
The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) said the decision by Rockstar came a year after 170 Rockstar workers signed a petition "opposing mandatory 3-day office work."
Rockstar workers represented by the union accused the developer of "broken promises" and said they had concerns around a "heightened risk of overwork," which the company has been criticised for in the past.
