Rockstar Games announced this morning that it has acquired Video Games Deluxe, the Sydney-based development studio responsible for the remasters of L.A. Noire. Once the acquisition is complete, the studio will be renamed Rockstar Australia.
Video Games Deluxe started working with Rockstar Games in 2017 on L.A. Noire, L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, and, most recently, on the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
“After working together closely over many years, we are excited to have Video Games Deluxe join the team as Rockstar Australia,” said Rockstar Games Head of Publishing, Jennifer Kolbe.
“It’s been an honor to work closely with Rockstar Games this past decade,” said Video Games Deluxe founder Brendan McNamara. “We are thrilled to be a part of Rockstar Games and to continue our efforts to make the best games possible.”
Rockstar Games is developing GTA VI, the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series. It is expected to be released later this year on Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, and a PC version is reportedly planned for 2026.
