The Rockstar label, founded in 1998 by Sam Houser, Terry Donovan, Dan Houser, Jamie King and Gary Foreman, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Take 2 Interactive.
Rockstar is the developer of the popular yet controversial Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club 2 and has a bright future in the industry in the coming years. The company is now working with Grant Theft Auto 4 and we wouldnt be surprised if Midnight Club 3 were to make an appearance in the near future.
Rockstar's first work that SPOnG is aware of is the 1999 title, "GTa2" (PlayStation).
The company has been involved titles released on the PS4, Switch, Xbox One, PC, Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, DS/DSi, PS2, PSP, Xbox, GameCube, GBA, PlayStation, Game Boy Color and Dreamcast. Of these, "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" (PS2), "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories" (PSP), "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories" (PSP), "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" (Xbox), "Grand Theft Auto 3" (PS2) has been a best selling title.
The company's most recent involvement was on the 2018 release "Red Dead Redemption 2" (Xbox One).
