A Game Pass for indie games: meet Indie Pass, a $6.99-a-month subscription launching with 70 titles
GamesIndustry.biz • • general
Key Points:
- Indie.io is launching Indie Pass, a $6.99 monthly subscription service providing access to a curated, rotating catalogue of around 70 indie games at launch, with plans to regularly add new titles from various developers.
- The service aims to boost discoverability for smaller indie games, offering developers revenue shares based on player engagement time, and providing analytics to help them understand and grow their audience.
- Indie Pass focuses on a distinctly indie experience with curated selections rather than a large, all-encompassing library, targeting players who appreciate shorter, narrative-driven games over ongoing live-service titles.
- There are no exclusivity requirements for developers, allowing games to be available on Indie Pass alongside other storefronts, and the platform encourages bringing older catalogue titles to gain renewed visibility.
- The recommendation system uses player engagement data and preferences to personalize game suggestions, and Indie.io plans to leverage its existing audience and marketing channels to grow the subscriber base after the April 13 launch.
