2K is a global developer, marketer, distributor and publisher of interactive entertainment software games.[1] 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 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 Dreamcast console. 2K Games is headquartered in Novato, California. The label publishes a wide variety of console and PC titles developed both internally and externally.
Founded in 2005, 2K develops and publishes interactive entertainment software games for the console, PC, and handheld gaming systems through its three divisions: 2K Games, 2K Sports, and 2K Play. 2K publishes titles in today's most popular gaming genres, including first-person shooters, action, role-playing, real-time strategy, sports, casual, and family entertainment.
The 2K label has some of the most talented development studios in the world today, including Firaxis Games, Visual Concepts, Irrational Games, 2K Marin, 2K Australia, 2K Czech, Cat Daddy Games, and 2K China. In just a few short years, 2K launched the 2007 Game of the Year - BioShock®; continued the award-winning Sid Meier's Civilization® series; delivered the #1 rated and #1 selling basketball franchise with NBA® 2K9*; and broke new ground in the family entertainment market with its multi-million unit selling hit Carnival Games.

As a game developer, you are under increasing pressure to meet aggressive schedules and collaborate with other team members—all while trying to satisfy productivity and quality demands. With the cost of a game's development often exceeding 10 million dollars, ROI is critical. Teams that implement proper asset management benefit from shorter release cycles, increased productivity, and above all, higher quality. Just one bug in a game can result in dismal earnings and damage a company's reputation and chance for future success.
