The company was founded in 1994. The original development staff had little to no experience in the video game industry, with most of them being recent college graduates.[3] They started out with developing NBA ShootOut, the first entry of the NBA ShootOut series, which released in 1996. In 2002, the studio was closed and merged with SCEE Studio Camden (former Psygnosis Camden Studio)[4] to form London Studio.[5] The Team Soho brand was retained for The Getaway: Black Monday.
The Getaway creative director, Brendan McNamara, founded Team Bondi in mid-2003 in Sydney, and had hired several former staff members of Team Soho.[6][7] After Bondi's closure, he founded Videogames Deluxe.
