GTA 6: S-Tier or Not? Ranking All Rockstar Games

May 26,2025 Author: Isaac

The excitement for the newly released GTA 6 trailer is palpable, and if you missed it, we've broken down all the secrets and details for you. Unfortunately, we'll need to wait until May 26, 2026, to dive into Lucia and Jason's story. While we bide our time, let's take a nostalgic journey through Rockstar's illustrious catalog and rank their games for fun.

Since its inception in 1998, Rockstar has crafted over 30 games, birthing iconic series like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and Manhunt. But which ones stand out as the best? Note that this ranking excludes titles like LA Noire and Max Payne 2, focusing solely on Rockstar-developed games, not those they've merely published. I've ranked them using an IGN Tier List, reflecting my personal enjoyment over the years. Check out my tier list below:

Rockstar Games Tier List

Red Dead Redemption 2 tops my list as my all-time favorite, comfortably securing an S-tier spot. It's joined by its predecessor and GTA 5, both trailblazers in the cinematic open-world genre. Max Payne 3, with its mesmerizing bullet time mechanics, and GTA San Andreas, a game I played far too young, also hold special places in my heart. At the other end of the spectrum, in the D-tier, you'll find titles like Austin Powers: Oh, Behave! and Welcome to My Underground Lair!, games that few would willingly revisit.

Do you disagree with my rankings? Perhaps you believe Vice City outshines GTA 4? Feel free to create your own tier list and see how your S, A, B, C, and D tiers stack up against the IGN community's opinions.

With just two trailers released for GTA 6 so far, where do you predict it will land on the tier list once it's fully released? Share your thoughts and your rankings in the comments below, and let's discuss why you've placed the games in your chosen order.
