The new GTA 6 trailer has arrived, and if you missed it, we've broken down all the secrets and details for you. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until May 26, 2026, to dive into Lucia and Jason's story. While we count down the days, let's reminisce about all the fantastic Rockstar games we've enjoyed over the years and have some fun ranking them.
Rockstar Games has been delighting gamers since its inception in 1998, with a portfolio boasting over 30 titles. They've given us iconic series like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and Manhunt. But which of these masterpieces stands above the rest? Note that this list focuses strictly on games developed by Rockstar, excluding titles like LA Noire or Max Payne 2 which they published. I've ranked them based on my personal enjoyment over the years using an IGN Tier List. Check out my rankings below:
Red Dead Redemption 2 tops my list as my all-time favorite game, making it an easy S-tier choice. It's joined by its predecessor and GTA 5, both trailblazers in the cinematic open-world genre. I also have a special fondness for Max Payne 3 with its thrilling bullet time mechanics, and GTA San Andreas, which I played far too young. At the bottom of the D-tier, we find games like Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Welcome to My Underground Lair!—titles that few would willingly revisit.
Do you disagree with my rankings? Perhaps you believe Vice City outshines GTA 4? Feel free to create your own tier list and compare your S, A, B, C, and D rankings with the IGN community.
