Team Asobi is a Japanese video game developer based in Tokyo.

[2] Team Asobi was first formed in 2012 as an internal part of Japan Studio based in Tokyo by Nicolas Doucet.

[3][4][5] The team's name is derived from the Japanese word "Asobi",[a] meaning "Play".

[4] Doucet and several members of his team had been developers for games for the EyeToy and had brought their knowledge forward for use on The Playroom.

[3][9] 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.
