Games firm Outplay Entertainment’s new HQ in Dundee

New Dundee games firm Outplay Entertainment has opened its new offices in the city.

The company, which will develop games for smart phones and social networks, intends to create 150 jobs and will be based in the Vision building at Greenmarket.

It was announced in February that the firm would receive a £2.25 million Scottish Enterprise grant to bring them to the city.

Co-founder and chief executive Douglas Hare said, “Establishing Outplay’s global headquarters was a crucial first step for the company.

“We considered various locations in North America and Europe but Dundee stood out for a number of reasons, not least the concentration of talent, comprehensive support and the level of expertise across every organisation we encountered.”

“Dundee has a long and proud history of creating world class games and we’re thrilled to be locating Outplay in the city at a crucial period in the ongoing evolution of the global gaming market.”
