Team Soho was a British video game developer based in Soho, London. It was formerly the video game development division of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe before being spun off to develop The Getaway series; a second unit at Cambridge would later be spun off as SCEE Cambridge Studio.

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.{{cite magazine |author= |date=November 1996 |title=NG Alphas: Sony Computer Entertainment U.K. |url=https://archive.org/details/NextGeneration23Nov1996_2400/page/n135/mode/2up |magazine=Next Generation |location=Brisbane, California |publisher=Imagine Publishing |volume=2 |issue=23 |page=135{{hyphen}}138 |access-date=7 October 2019 |via=Internet Archive}} They started out with developing NBA ShootOut, the first entry of the NBA ShootOut series, which released in 1996.
