Iron Galaxy studios to open video game development studio in Nashville

Iron Galaxy Studios, LLC officials will invest $950,000 to establish a new video game development studio in Nashville. As part of the company’s expansion, Iron Galaxy will create 108 new tech jobs over the next five years. Iron Galaxy’s Nashville game development studio, the company’s third in the country, will allow it to attract and pull new talent from the city’s rapidly growing tech community and create a stronger recruiting base for its existing offices in Chicago and Orlando. Iron Galaxy’s expansion to Tennessee comes at a time when the tech industry is seeing substantial growth in the Nashville region. CBRE recently ranked Nashville No. 1 for tech job growth over the last five years in its 2021 Scoring Tech Talent report, an annual analysis focusing on highly skilled tech workers in the U.S. Founded in 2008, Iron Galaxy is the second largest independent video game developer with more than 60 shipped titles, over 10 platforms and approximately 20 partners. Today, the company employs more than 250 people across its two offices in Illinois and Florida.
