Rage, or Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, is a proprietary game engine developed by Rockstar Games. It powers many of their titles, including the Grand Theft Auto series and Red Dead Redemption. Rage provides tools for rendering, physics, AI, and networking to create immersive open-world environments.
About Rage
Rage was created in 2006 by Rockstar San Diego to replace the aging RenderWare engine. It was developed to provide a more versatile and powerful platform for Rockstar Games' expanding lineup of open-world titles. The engine debuted with "Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis" and later powered major franchises like Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.
Rage's strengths include its ability to handle large open-world environments, realistic physics, and high-quality graphics. Its weaknesses are limited accessibility to developers outside Rockstar and less flexibility compared to more modular engines. Key competitors include Unreal Engine, Unity, and CryEngine.
