< Back to Rockstar Studios


Part of the Rockstar family since 1999 and based out of modern, spacious, purpose-built studios in the heart of Edinburgh, Rockstar North develops original game titles and are proud to be the developer of the genre-defining Grand Theft Auto series. At Rockstar North, you’ll find a very proud team of hard-working creatives committed to pushing the boundaries of the medium.

Based in Scotland’s picturesque and historic capital city of Edinburgh, Rockstar North’s contemporary studio building is easily reached by bus, car or by train, with the city’s main rail station a brief five-minute walk away. Dominated by its 15th Century Castle, this culturally vibrant city of approximately 500,000 people is home yearly to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the largest arts celebration in the world. Along with a diverse collection of bars, clubs, plentiful shops, restaurants, and cafes on the studio’s doorstep, the city is surrounded by easily accessible open countryside, fantastic beaches and a wide range of sporting facilities.
