Microsoft are in the process of opening up a new Xbox studio in London.
The new studio will add to the platform holder's already significant presence in the UK, with Lionhead and Rare already well established, as well as the more recent addition of Soho Studios.
"EMEA is a key market for us and we continue to cultivate the best talent and focus on growing our business, with this role focused on the continued expansion of our Microsoft Studios business in the region," the platform holder told MCV.
MCV also speculated that the studio may focus on "first-party free-to-play and online casual experiences," citing job listings for staff comfortable working with those arenas. Part of the team's brief is to be "developing successful new products and services for current and future consumers"
