who made red dead redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 was developed by Rockstar Games , with all of Rockstar’s worldwide studios contributing under the unified “Rockstar Games” banner.

Who actually “made” it?

• The game is credited simply to Rockstar Games as the developer, rather than one specific studio like Rockstar San Diego or Rockstar North.

• Reports on its development describe Rockstar co‑opting all of its studios into one large team, involving around 1,600 core developers and roughly 2,000 people in total.

Key creative leads

• Dan Houser, Rockstar’s Vice President of Creativity and co‑founder, led the narrative and overall creative direction, working with writers such as Michael Unsworth and Rupert Humphries.

• Rockstar San Diego, which led the first Red Dead Redemption, was an important part of the project, but RDR2 is officially presented as a fully collaborative effort across Rockstar’s global teams.
