Live Showcase
A curated selection of indie games will be presented live over two consecutive days, streamed by a professional content creator across multiple platforms.
We will select 20 games to be featured in the showcase. Each title will be played live on the streamer’s Twitch and/or YouTube channel, as well as on the official Dev.Play YouTube channel.
Each game will receive 30 minutes of dedicated streaming time, out of which 5 – 10 minutes will be dedicated to a short live chat with the developer, who will join the streamer during the broadcast.
Games featured in the showcase benefit from:
- Developer spotlights
- Dedicated streaming time
Increased visibility for global audiences

The Indie Festival Steam Sale will include any game with positive reviews that wishes to participate. All submitted titles will be curated before being uploaded to the official sale list.
The sale will feature up to 100 games, selected based on clear criteria to ensure quality and visibility for each participating title.
