The publisher indie.io presented a new project called Indie Pass – a subscription service focused exclusively on indie games, which will be available from April 13, 2026 for PC.
Indie Pass brings a catalog of more than 70 indie titles, available through a separate launcher, with a monthly subscription of 6.99 US dollars, or about 5.99 euros. In addition, an annual subscription will be available to users at a price of less than 60 US dollars per year (approximately 55 euros), which represents additional savings for long-term users.
Unlike big services like Game Pass or Apple Arcade, Indie Pass focuses entirely on indie production. The goal is to provide greater visibility to smaller studios and solo developers, who often struggle for attention in an increasingly saturated market where tens of thousands of games are released annually.
One of the key features of the system is the way of earning money for developers - the income is distributed according to the time players spend in their games. This model encourages quality and long-term engagement, and an additional advantage is that the platform is not exclusive, so the authors of their games can simultaneously sell on other services.
