” We rely on indie designers with strong vision will continue to bring concepts that have never ever been tried before, developing whole brand-new categories of video games and advancing the art and meaning of computer game.”
He includes that PlayStation as a platform has constantly been a home to lots of interesting originalities. With this initiative, they are eagerly anticipating experimenting with more of such concepts. ” I was so ecstatic to see the strong reactions to the amazing indie titles included in the PS5 Future of Gaming event a couple of weeks back,” Yoshida includes.
During a time when AAA game development has grown so financially demanding, independent video game developers might just set the course for the future of the video gaming industry. Yoshida says that video game companies are finding it hard to risk their financial investments on a speculative principle that may not work.
Titles to debut along with the PlayStation Indies initiative
As said previously, PS will be exposing 9 interesting titles for both PS4 and PS5. Let us take a look:
A real-time multiplayer action game “Worms Rumble” (PS4/PS5).
A co-op adventure called “Haven” (PS4/PS5).

” Maquette”, a world simulation and puzzle-making video game.
Action-based platform game “F.I.S.T.” (PS4).

” Creaks” (PS4).
Along with this, Yoshida says that a new indie title will join the “PlayStation Now” service every month. The first addition to this will be “Hello Neighbor” in July.
Indie video games constantly bring something speculative and brand-new to the table. We hope that this effort turns out to be as interesting as it sounds. This will surely lead to the addition of some innovative and interesting titles to the lineup of PlayStation video games.
