Build a Rocket Boy, a game studio from former Grand Theft Auto developer, raises $110M


Build a Rocket Boy, an indie game development company founded by a former Grand Theft Auto lead developer, has raised $110 million.

Whether its name-change was a direct result of this accusation isn’t clear, but Royal Circus Games morphed into Build a Rocket Boy in 2018 and went on to raise at least $40 million in funding to develop and commercialize a suite of new titles. Both titles are slated for launch “in the near future,” while the company is also introducing a suite of user-generated content (UGC) design tools it calls Arcadia. Aside from its headquarters in Edinburgh, Build a Rocket Boy has opened additional development hubs in Budapest (Hungary) and Montpellier (France).
