GTA 6 Studio Rockstar North Calls Emergency Services After Reported Explosion

January 19, 2026 by Ryan Parreno

Please remember to be respectful of the developers at Rockstar North.

Rockstar North called for emergency services after reports spread of an explosion.

As reported by the BBC, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service went to their main office in Edinburgh, Scotland, in response to an emergency call.

They arrived to deal with structural damage at Rockstar’s building at 5:00 AM Monday, after an incident the day before.

Six fire engines arrived at the location, but the crews stood down at 9:21 AM.

Speculation that there was a fire at Rockstar North’s building, any potential fatalities, or that this could delay GTA 6, is without basis as of this writing.

We would urge GTA fans to be wary of unsourced or misleading reports. Please remember to be respectful of the people at Rockstar North.

And that’s not just because they’re making a huge AAA, anticipated to be one of the biggest game launches in the industry’s history. Of course, we should remember there are real people behind the game, with real families to take care of like you and me.

We wish the best for Rockstar North at this time.
