John Vega, senior manager from PlayStation, organized the presentation of the PlayStation Indies program for EGDF and its members.
TL;DR:
PS Indies is a promotional program that raises visibility (discoverability, shining a light)
What do indies get with the partnership?
– Spotlight on PS Indies Day on all socials
– a dedicated PlayStation Indies website
– Indies Store Grid – a special section just for indies
– Monthly Picks Collection – put curated games on the cover (eg Talos Principle 2)
– Bringing indies to PS+ (100+ games every month)
What PS are looking for from indies:
1. Creative ideas – eg Toem or Chicory
2. Critically successful – eg Kentucky Route Zero
3. Breakout hits – eg Cult of the Lamb, Sifu
4. Diverse games and diverse developers
How to apply for the program?
You need to register as a partner, and start the process from there, if they want to showcase the game, you can send a ticket in the help center that you want to apply for PS Indies. Soon there will be a special Indies portal for that.
