What Studios and Locations Does 2K Games List on Its Website?
Updated
2K's official site lists its development studios and office locations under a single "Studios & Locations" section. According to the site's navigation, the studio roster includes Hangar 13, Cloud Chamber, Gearbox Entertainment, Small Axe Studios, Visual Concepts, 31st Union, Firaxis Games, HB Studios, Cat Daddy Games, and Irrational Games. The listed locations are 2K Dublin, 2K Chengdu, 2K Czech, 2K Madrid, 2K Valencia, and 2K Vegas. This is the reference to use if you want to know which team is behind a particular 2K title or where the company operates.

The site groups its internal and affiliated studios together. Based on the navigation structure, the full list is:
| Studio | Notes |
|---|---|
| Hangar 13 | Listed under 2K Studios |

| Gearbox Entertainment | Listed under 2K Studios |

Each studio name in the navigation links to its own careers page, which is how the site connects a studio to open roles rather than to a game catalog.

How to Use This Information
The Studios & Locations section is most useful in two situations:
- Identifying who made a game. If you want to know which team developed a title, the studio list tells you which names 2K treats as its development brands. For example, Firaxis Games is the studio associated with the Civilization series, and Visual Concepts is associated with the NBA 2K line.
- Finding where 2K hires. Because every studio and location entry links to a careers page, this section doubles as the entry point for 2K's job listings, including the graduate programs (publishing, engineering, and technical art) listed separately under 2K Careers.
What the Section Does Not Cover
The Studios & Locations pages are organizational, not editorial. They do not describe each studio's game history, team size, or current projects. For that kind of detail, the site routes you elsewhere — game-specific official sites (NBA 2K, WWE 2K, Borderlands, Civilization, Mafia) and the 2K Newsroom for announcements. If your goal is to understand a game rather than the company structure, start from the game's own page instead of the studio list.
