Four Rockstar Studios make it into Top 100 Game Studios List

Published at 4:00 PM PST

We found a site today called Develop 100, which lists the top 100 gaming studios around the world. Of course the Rockstar Studios are on it, the first Rockstar Studio is 6th, which is Rockstar Leeds, the creators of the PSP versions of Grand Theft Auto, Midnight Club 3: DUB edition, Manhunt 2, and The Warriors.

But the first one on the list is EA Canada, which to me isn't a surprise. The second one is the massive Nintendo, which created the Wii and first 3D portable console the DS. Konami Corporation is third and Maxis is forth, which is well known for The Sims.

Traveller's Tales is fifth and like I said Rockstar Leeds is sixth. Here is the rest of the top ten in order:

 

7. Ubisoft France
8. Yuke's
9. EA Redwood Shores
10. Ubisoft Montreal

 

In my surprise Rockstar Vancouver is on the list at 39, which created the Bully game. Rockstar North, which created the Grand Theft Auto games back when it was DMA design, is at 57 and the last one on the list is Rockstar San Diego, which are the makers of games such as Midnight Club, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis and the Smuggler's Run series.

But not all of the Rockstar Studios made it into the top 100, these are Rockstar London, Rockstar Toronto and the now closed Rockstar Vienna.
