Day of the Devs 2024 — The indie spotlight comes to PlayStation – PlayStation.Blog

Thirteen years ago, Developers Day gathered to celebrate the beauty of indie video games. Since that, we have an incredible opportunity to highlight hundreds of unique and creative games through our in-person events and digital showcases, all free of charge at no cost to developers or attendees/viewers. This year, we transitioned to a completely independent 501c3 non-profit organization, so we can continue our passion for supporting game developers and the magical stories they tell.

Today, we’re hosting the Day of the Devs: The Game Awards Edition showcase, and we’re excited to share some of the amazing titles from the showcase coming to PlayStation.
