Rockstar North closed its Edinburgh offices on January 19 after a reported early-morning "major explosion" suspected to be caused by a faulty boiler, Scottish Fire and Rescue said. Firefighters mobilised three appliances and secured structural damage; crews left the scene at 9:21am and police remain to secure the building. The incident caused operational disruption amid ongoing development of Grand Theft Auto 6, due November 19, 2026.
