Team Asobi

Team Asobi（Team アソビ) was founded in 2012 as a subdivision of Japan Studio. It is based in Tokyo and was opened by Nicolas Doucet. The team's name is derived from the Japanese word "Asobi", meaning "Play". Across late 2020 and early 2021, several staff members of Japan Studio, outside those of Team Asobi, announced their departure; Sony later affirmed that by April 2021, Japan Studio would be refocused around Team Asobi based on the success of Astro's Playroom. In June 2021, Sony announced that Team Asobi had been transitioned to a standalone studio within PlayStation Studios. Doucet remains Asobi's studio director and creative director following this transition. Their works include ASTRO BOT: Rescue Mission for Playstation VR, and ASTRO’s PLAYROOM and ASTRO BOT for PlayStation 5.
