aid: rockstar-games name: Rockstar Games description: >- Rockstar Games is an American video game publisher headquartered in New York City and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software (NASDAQ: TTWO). Best known for the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption franchises, Rockstar operates online services for GTA Online and Red Dead Online, the Rockstar Games Launcher PC client, and the legacy Rockstar Games Social Club identity / authentication platform. Rockstar does not publish a public developer portal; its HTTP API surface is internal and consumed only by first-party clients (game executables, the Rockstar Games Launcher, and Rockstar's mobile companion apps). The most visible public-facing API is its OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 identity provider at signin.rockstargames.com, which exposes standard /connect/authorize, /connect/Token, /connect/introspect, and /.well-known/jwks endpoints. Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled to launch on November 19, 2026 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and will include a "significant online mode" succeeding GTA Online. type: Index image: https://kinlane-productions.s3.amazonaws.com/apis-json/apis-json-logo.jpg tags: - Gaming - Entertainment - Video Games - Grand Theft Auto - Red Dead Redemption - Identity - OAuth url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/rockstar-games/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-05-23' modified: '2026-05-23' specificationVersion: '0.19' apis: - aid: rockstar-games:signin-oidc name: Rockstar Games Sign-In (OpenID Connect) description: >- Public OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 identity provider operated by Rockstar Games at signin.rockstargames.com.

Per Wikipedia, "Most branding relating to Social Club was removed from Rockstar's website by November 2023" — the service has been folded into the unified Rockstar Games account, though its internal HTTP APIs (commonly observed under scapi.rockstargames.com and prod.cloud.rockstargames.com) continue to power live-service titles.
