Global Star Software was a Canadian video game publisher based in Mississauga. It was founded in 1995 by Craig McGauley and Damian Cristiani and operated alongside their Triad Distributors, which had been founded in 1993. Both companies were acquired by Take-Two Interactive on 1 September 1999. When the "2K Play" label was added to Take-Two's 2K label on 10 September 2007, 2K absorbed all of Global Star's assets.
