Rockstar Games studios are spread across the UK, US, Canada, India and Australia. Rockstar’s official careers directory lists Rockstar North in Edinburgh, Dundee, Leeds, Lincoln, London, New York, San Diego, Toronto and several other locations. They work under the same Rockstar Games organisation rather than operating as rival publishers.
Rockstar’s careers directory provides an official list of the studios and offices. It also shows how a single company works across different countries, rather than building every part of Grand Theft Auto in Edinburgh.
Rockstar Games studios in the UK
The current Rockstar Games studios directory lists five UK locations: Rockstar North (Edinburgh), Dundee, Leeds, Lincoln and London. All five appear on the official careers page. Rockstar International is also listed separately but without a city attached in that directory.
Rockstar Games studios in the US, Canada, India and Australia
In North America, Rockstar Games studios include Rockstar LA in Los Angeles, Rockstar New England in Andover, Massachusetts, Rockstar New York in Manhattan, Rockstar San Diego in Carlsbad, California and Rockstar Toronto in Oakville, Ontario. The company also lists Rockstar India in Bengaluru and Rockstar Australia in Sydney.
These locations are part of the same global development and publishing organisation. The job listings include software and graphics programming, game security, production, data analysis and IT, showing the range of work involved.
What does Rockstar North develop?
Rockstar North has one of the clearest documented Grand Theft Auto credits. Rockstar’s announcement on 3 November 2011 specifically named the Edinburgh studio as developer of GTA V, set in Los Santos.
For GTA VI, Rockstar’s own store credits Rockstar Games as both developer and publisher. That is a collective credit for the wider organisation, which includes North and the other Rockstar teams.
What development roles do Rockstar offices have?
The Rockstar Games studios directory also lists current jobs grouped by department. Rockstar North has advertised software engineering and game-security positions, while New York has listed production, analytics and IT posts. Other locations advertise graphics programming, technical support, security and workplace operations.
The current vacancies offer examples of work at each location. Rockstar New York has advertised production, analytics and technology roles. Rockstar Dundee and Rockstar North have advertised security and engineering roles. The available positions change as recruitment moves on.
Rockstar operates as both a development network and a publishing label. Take-Two Interactive owns the label, and its investor information describes Rockstar as part of the same group as 2K and Zynga. Our Rockstar ownership guide explains how the parent company fits in.
How do Rockstar Games studios work together?
Rockstar Games is both a developer network and a publishing label. Its parent, Take-Two Interactive, also owns 2K and Zynga. Our ownership explainer covers the corporate structure and our Rockstar North guide explains the Edinburgh studio.
The Rockstar Games studios network also includes the UK workforce preparing to vote on union recognition from 12 to 26 November 2026. This is a UK employment question, not a worldwide vote by every office. Our Rockstar union article explains those dates and the positions of the union and management.
