PTW (now Side) today announced plans to expand operations into South America with the creation of PTW Brazil Ltda, located in São Paulo. Officially opening in Q1 2024, the ambitious new office will employ over 100 local workers specializing in Quality Assurance, Player Support, Art, and Localized QA work for the South American gaming industry.

“Brazil is a massive opportunity for us—South America is going to be a hotspot for companies like Side that can bring in best-in-class services to help globalize the local dev scene,” said Deborah Kirkham, Chief Executive Officer of Side, “…and my team knows what it takes to win market share. It’s going to take world class talent delivering unrivalled services; that’s exactly what we’re going to deliver to our customers and why I’m so confident in our growth strategy.”

With an estimated $5B in industry revenue this year alone, South America is one of the fastest growing markets for game developers of all sizes. The São Paulo expansion brings the number of studios at Side to 44, spanning 16 countries across the globe.
