Rockstar Games has acquired the Sydney-based developer Video Games Deluxe, rebranding it as Rockstar Australia.

Video Games Deluxe is known for its work on the re-releases of L.A. Noire and L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, as well as updates to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition.

"It's been an honour to work closely with Rockstar Games this past decade," said Brendan McNamara, founder of Video Games Deluxe. "We are thrilled to be part of Rockstar Games and to continue our efforts to make the best games possible."

Jennifer Kolbe, head of publishing at Rockstar Games, also commented, saying, "After working together closely for many years, we are excited to have Video Games Deluxe join the team as Rockstar Australia."

Founded in 2013 by Brendan McNamara, former creative director at Team Bondi, Video Games Deluxe had close ties with Rockstar from the early days. Team Bondi, the studio behind the 2011 detective game L.A. Noire, faced a turbulent development cycle marked by reports of poor working conditions. The company went into administration in 2011 after separating from Rockstar amid these allegations.
