GTA 6 developer Rockstar Games marks its 25th anniversary: A brief history of its games so far

Rockstar Games, whose name is synonymous with the GTA series, completes its 25th anniversary in December 2023. The popular gaming studio was founded in December 1998. Oddly, neither the company nor the fanbase knows its exact date of establishment, which has led the community to assume December as its anniversary month.

Aside from the GTA series, Rockstar Games has developed several other titles. This article lists all the offerings developed since 1998.
