Rockstar Toronto (formerly Rockstar Canada) is an in-house game development team for Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, a town located approximately twenty minutes west of Toronto. The company was renamed Rockstar Toronto in 2002 after Rockstar Games bought Vancouver-based Barking Dog Studios and re-named it Rockstar Vancouver.
Since the release of the Wii console, Rockstar Toronto has taken the responsibility of porting titles to the system.
Their most recent project, co-developing a PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV with Rockstar North has been completed, and was released on December 2, 2008, in North America. The port was criticised for extensive glitches, frame-rate problems and hardware incompatibilities on some systems, however patches fixed some of the issues.
