'''2K Games''' is a global developer, marketer, distributor and publisher of interactive entertainment software games. 2K Games is a 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 Interactive 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 line-up typically referred to as the ''2K series'', which were originally published exclusively for the [[Dreamcast]]. 2K Games is head-quartered in Novato, California, where the company has re-purposed and refurbished a set of old aircraft hangers to use as offices and promotional areas. The label publishes a wide variety of console and PC titles developed both internally and externally.

In 2014, 2K Games launched a new game studio, called [[Hangar 13]].
