About 2K
2K publishes NBA 2K, Borderlands, Civilization and BioShock, and operates as a separate label from Rockstar within the same parent. Its sports titles are annual releases, which balances the long gaps between Rockstar games. Its name has no expansion; it came from the Take-Two subsidiary 2K Sports, itself named for the year the label was conceived rather than for anything about the games.
