The centre, which will support EA's Bioware studio, will be operational by 2011. EA already has European game teams in the UK, Sweden, Germany, Romania and Spain.
The Bioware studio is responsible for developing titles such as Mass Effect , Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age : Origins.
“The new Irish location for Bioware will help us get closer to our fans in Europe,” said senior vice president of EA Dr Ray Muzyka.
“Galway gives us the right mix of solid technology infrastructure and international recruitment opportunities as we continue to focus on bringing the highest quality gaming experiences to market.”
Taoiseach Brian Cowen said the centre was an important addition to Ireland's thriving games industry.
The investment is being supported by IDA Ireland.
“EA joins a vibrant digital media sector and is a key endorsement of the skills and expertise available in Ireland for this sector,” said IDA Ireland's chief executive Barry O’Leary.
