contents We present a series of fully three-dimensional, dynamical-spacetime general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) simulations of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) for a progenitor of zero-age-main-sequence (ZAMS) mass $25\, M_\odot$. We simulate a total of 12 models for simulation times in the range $190-260\, \mathrm{ms}$ to systematically study the effect of rotation rates and magnetic fields on jet formation via the magnetorotational mechanism. We have performed simulations on OLCF's Frontier using the new GPU-accelerated dynamical-spacetime GRMHD code \theCode for magnetic fields $B_0 = (10^{11}, 10^{12})\, \mathrm{G}$ and rotation rates $Ω_0 = (0.14, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5)\, \mathrm{rad/s}$. We always resolve the entire region containing the shock with a resolution of at least $1.48\, \mathrm{km}$. We find that models with $B_0=10^{11}\, \mathrm{G}$ fail to explode, while those with $B_0=10^{12}\, \mathrm{G}$ show a wide range of jet morphologies and explosive outcomes depending on the rotation rate. Models with $B_0=10^{12}\, \mathrm{G}$ and $Ω_0=(1.0,1.5)\, \mathrm{rad/s}$ form jets that bend sideways, giving the ejecta a more spherical character, and possibly representing explosions that \textit{appear} neutrino-driven even though they are magnetorotationally-driven. Models with $B_0=10^{12}\, \mathrm{G}$ and $Ω_0\geq2.0\, \mathrm{rad/s}$ show ejecta velocities $\gtrsim15000\, \mathrm{km/s}$, making them suitable candidates for broad-lined type Ic supernova progenitors. This work represents the largest set of 3D general-relativistic GRMHD simulations studying magnetorotational supernovae in full GR and demonstrates the potential of systematic studies with GPU-accelerated 3D simulations of CCSNe.
