2K Games is a video game publishing subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive which also owns Rockstar Games notable for the "Grand Theft Auto" series. It was created on January 25, 2005 after Take-Two acquired developer Visual Concepts and its wholly owned subsidiary Kush Games from Sega for US$24 million.

The name "2K Games" comes from Visual Concepts' sports game lineup typically referred to as the "2K series", which were originally published exclusively for the Sega Dreamcast console. 2K Games is headquartered in Manhattan. The label publishes a wide variety of console and PC titles developed both internally and externally.
