During the development of Double Agent, Paramount Digital Arts set up the satellite studio Seaside Studio in Westminster, to work with the employees of Sony's Psygnosis Studio Camden, Gremlin Interactive, Criterion Software, and Psygnosis Studio Stroud. Criterion worked on the racing segments, Gremlin Interactive worked on additional graphics and Psygnosis worked on the most of the additional development of Crazy Rush Too!, providing additional programming, GUI, optimization and 3D assets. They also had SCEE's various other research and development groups, dedicated to the production of PlayStation games and development tools across all of SIE's gaming platforms, helping the development proceed further and "make the game look and feel more beautiful".
After the development of Double Agent, Seaside Entertainment hired the employees, who helped make the game in the UK, as part-time and were working on another project until it suddenly closed down. The satellite studio was bought out by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in 2001, merged into SCE London Studios, and its employees went on to work for Infogrames (who acquired Gremlin Interactive in 1999)/Sumo Digital (after Infogrames closed its Sheffield studio), Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, and Electronic Arts, its employees now working at DICE LA, and Criterion Software in 2004, although most of its employees now work at Ghost Games UK). Throughout the years, a new studio Fifth Leaf has hired laid-off employees of Sumo Digital, London Studio, Kojima Productions (2005-2015), Konami, Konami Los Angeles, Evolution Studios, Codemasters, Runecraft and Ghost Games. However, in 2016, it was merged into SIE London Studio.
In 2018, Double S Games announced to open a new studio in London with all living Fifth Leaf/Seaside Entertainment employees, called Double S Seaside.
