PlayStation Indies program formed to better support indie gaming

The PlayStation Indies program has been announced by Sony today, designed to better support indie gaming.

“With PlayStation Indies, we hope to spotlight and support the best of the best indie games being published on PlayStation and the entire indie community as a whole,” Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida wrote on the PlayStation Blog. “Our goal is to make PlayStation the best place to develop, find, and play great indie games.”

The inititative today shone the spotlight on nine indie games: Worms Rumble, Haven, Carto, Recompile, Where the Heart Is, Maquette, F.I.S.T: Forged in Shadow, Heavenly Bodies and Creaks. Of that list, Haven has already been confirmed as a title to offer up a playable demo on Xbox One as part of a Summer Game Fest demo event.

Yoshida also confirmed that an indie game will be highlighted on the PlayStation Now service each month — in July, that’s Hello Neighbour.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
