Rockstar Games is proud to announce the acquisition of Video Games Deluxe, a Sydney-based development studio that has worked closely with Rockstar on several memorable titles. The studio will be renamed Rockstar Australia.
The partnership between Rockstar and Video Games Deluxe began over 10 years ago with Team Bondi, the founder’s former studio, which created the critically acclaimed detective thriller L.A. Noire. Since then, the two companies have collaborated on numerous projects, including recent upgrades to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
“We’re excited to have Video Games Deluxe join the team as Rockstar Australia,” said Jennifer Kolbe, Head of Publishing at Rockstar Games. “This acquisition marks an important milestone in our commitment to creating high-quality games.”
Video Games Deluxe founder Brendan McNamara echoed this sentiment, saying, “It’s been an honor to work closely with Rockstar Games over the past decade. We’re thrilled to be a part of the team and continue making great games.”
Rockstar Games is a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment, known for its complex living worlds and critically acclaimed titles such as Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.
