IO Interactive opens a studio in Istanbul

Announcing IOI Istanbul

The mission of IOI Istanbul is to establish a hub for AAA game development in the region and create unique game experiences for our players across the world”

We are excited to announce the opening of our fourth IOI studio in Istanbul, Türkiye. Uniquely positioned in the pan-continental gateway to Europe and Asia, IOI Istanbul is a crucial part in the continued growth and success of IO Interactive.

With a thriving tech and mobile development scene, we identified Istanbul as a region filled with talent that is furiously passionate, development-focused and technically creative. Istanbul is also a city rich in history, offering a strong cultural presence, historic architecture, astonishing Bosphorus views and vibrant and varied culture.

Those elements made opening a studio in Istanbul a strong step forward for IOI’s pursuit of making impactful games on all platforms and for everyone, as well as establishing a foothold for AAA development in Türkiye.

IOI Istanbul is located in Maslak, Sariyer. While Sariyer is a historic location known for its harbour and dining scene on the lively Bosphorus. Maslak is the heart of tech and business that is incredibly easy to access from anywhere in the city, and rich in amenities, beautiful plazas and shopping centers.

The mission of IOI Istanbul is to establish a hub for AAA game development in the region and create unique game experiences for our players across the world. Our team in Istanbul will play a significant role in our ambitious productions: Project 007, Project Fantasy and HITMAN.

We’re excited to share more details (and share some photos!) about our new studio in the coming weeks and months, when we’ll also begin to have more job positions on our career website

Genuinely excited to see this company grow though and I love that they are opening studios in such fun places. Perhaps when they need another location they will want one in a certain windy city??!!
