We Bring The Magic to Single-Player
Open Worlds
Criminal Games is founded by experienced former developers
from world-leading AAA game studio Rockstar North. Our team
includes talent who previously worked at Epic Games, TT Games,
Build A Rocket Boy and others. Individually we have helped
shape some of the most iconic franchises in gaming Grand Theft
Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty, Fortnite, LEGO and
more. We specialize in crafting high quality, single‑player
open worlds built with purpose that play well. No excess. No
clutter. Just pure design, engineering, ownership and intent.
First things first, we make games. That’s what we do, and we
love it.
But we’re also a small team of experienced developers who care
about single-player open-world games. Many of us worked at
Rockstar North on GTA IV, GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, and
GTA Online Heists, and now we’re using everything we’ve
learned to build our own games and help other studios do the
same.
Being a small team means we can move fast, think boldly, and
get things done without the usual red tape. Years of
experience working on some of the biggest open-world games
gives us a perspective most people don’t get. It helps us
solve tricky problems and make games that are fun,
interesting, and full of life.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done, but we’re even more
excited about what’s next. Whether we’re helping studios,
making our own games, or giving developers a chance to take
real ownership, the goal is the same: make games people enjoy
and remember.
We work hard, but we work together. Our team is fair, honest,
and driven by the same goal: making games that play well and
have a spark to them. When you work with us, you’re not just
making a game, you’re shaping a world.
