Our take
Founded by brothers Dan and Sam Houser, Rockstar Games is a multinational video game developer and production house behind the hit series’ Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Formed as part of an acquisition of British video game company BMG Ventures by Take Two Interactive in 1998, Rockstar Games became the name of the parent company’s publishing label.
Rockstar has gone from hit to hit, Grand Theft Auto 5 remaining the second best-selling video game of all time and maintaining more than 20 million online players since its launch in 2013. Red Dead Redemption 2 has also had an impressive run, having sold over 70 million copies worldwide.
Online content is regularly released for both titles, whilst video game players eagerly await the release of Grand Theft Auto 6 in November 2026. It's projected that GTA 6 will make billions in its first year of launch alone, exemplifying Rockstar’s status as one of the most successful video game publishers of all time.
