The company Rockstar was established in 1998.It was founded by Sam Houser, Dan Houser, Terry Donovan and Jamie King. Rockstar has many franchises like: Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club. They have many more games in the making like Bully 2, but will it meet the standards of red dead redemption 2?

Their newest game was Red Dead Redemption 2 and it took 8 years to make. The game sold over 17 million copies in their first week and Red Dead Redemption sold 15 million in 8 years, this shows how far games have come along over the years.
