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.'

  name: Rockstar Games Sign-In (OpenID Connect)
  description: Public OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 identity provider operated by Rockstar Games at signin.rockstargames.com.
    Backs authentication for the Rockstar Games website, Rockstar Games Launcher, Social Club, Rockstar Newswire, and first-party
    mobile apps. Supports the authorization_code, client_credentials, and refresh_token grant types and exposes /connect/authorize,
    /connect/Token, /connect/introspect, and a JSON Web Key Set at /.well-known/jwks. Appears to be implemented on an IdentityServer-style
    stack. Client registration is not open to third parties; only Rockstar-issued client IDs (e.g. the Launcher, Social Club,
    Newswire) are accepted.

  name: Rockstar Games Social Club
  description: Rockstar's online authentication and player-services backbone originally launched in 2008 to back GTA IV and
    later every major Rockstar title. Provides player accounts, friends, Crews, multiplayer matchmaking, achievements/awards,
    job sharing, Snapmatic photos, and the GTA Online / Red Dead Online stat back-ends. 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. No public developer documentation or third-party client credentials are offered.

  description: Rockstar's first-party PC storefront and game launcher, distributing Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption
    2, L.A. Noire, Bully, Max Payne 3, the GTA and Midnight Club catalog, and Rockstar-published indies. Handles install,
    patching, cloud saves, friends list, and entitlement checks against the Rockstar account. The Launcher consumes Rockstar's
    internal HTTP APIs and the signin.rockstargames.com OIDC provider; it is not itself an API product.
