No. 2K does not own Rockstar Games. Both are wholly owned labels of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., making them sister labels under the same corporate parent.
Who owns Rockstar Games?
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. is the parent company of Rockstar Games. Rockstar’s company details identify Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., and Take-Two’s company profile says it develops and publishes products through its two wholly owned labels, Rockstar Games and 2K.
How are 2K and Rockstar related?
They are separate publishing labels within Take-Two, not companies in an ownership chain where one label owns the other. So “2K owns Rockstar” is inaccurate shorthand; the precise description is that Take-Two owns both.
What does Take-Two publish through its labels?
Take-Two’s SEC filing for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 names Rockstar Games, 2K, and Zynga as principal labels through which it develops, operates, and publishes products. The filing also identifies NBA 2K among Take-Two’s products and says its products are distributed through physical retail, digital download, online platforms, and cloud streaming services.
