Dan Houser (born November 1973 in London, England) is an English video game producer who is the former Vice President of Creativity for Rockstar Games, the company he co-founded with his brother Sam, Jamie King, Gary Foreman and Terry Donovan.

Career

[edit | edit source]

As well as producing various video games, Dan has also written for all but one of the 3D Universe games, along with other Rockstar-produced video games.

Whilst growing up, Dan and his brother dreamt of rock stardom. Hoping to become rock stars, the two went to St. Paul's School in London, where they met Terry Donovan (who later co-founded Rockstar Games with them). Looking for their break, they joined divisions of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) in London, with Houser joining BMG's video games division in 1995, which in March 1998 was acquired by Take-Two Interactive.

On February 4, 2020, it was announced in Take-Two SEC filing that Houser would depart Rockstar Games on March 11, 2020, following his sabbatical that began in spring 2019.[1]

In September 2022, Houser joined the advisory board of blockchain games developer Revolving Games.

On February 17, 2021, Houser founded the media, entertainment, and video game company Absurd Ventures in Santa Monica, California. In the same month he also founded Absurd Ventures in Games LLC, a UK-based subsidiary in Altrincham.

On 27 September 2025, Houser confirmed that he did not write the story of Grand Theft Auto VI.[2]
