Summer may be cooling down, but the indie scene is just heating up. The Six One Indie Showcase is back on Thursday, September 18, 2025, kicking off at 8:50 AM PT / 11:50 AM ET with nearly two dozen world premieres, fresh gameplay reveals, and over 70 minutes of nonstop indie spotlights.
The event will stream live on IGN, GameSpot, and Six One Indie’s YouTube and Twitch channels, putting a curated spotlight on 47 indie titles from developers and publishers across the globe.
Things start with the 10-minute Petey’s Play Now Pre-Show, highlighting 7 overlooked indie gems from earlier this year. Then the main showcase kicks off, featuring 40 upcoming games, including:
-
The world premiere of a new project from ORIGAME DIGITAL, the team behind Umurangi Generation
-
The gameplay reveal for Lil Gator Game: In the Dark
-
New looks from Super Rare Originals and Blumhouse Games
-
And plenty more exclusive reveals, demos, and surprise announcements
Once the showcase ends, the celebration continues with the Six One Indie Showcase Steam Event, running all weekend long. Expect exclusive demos, discounts, and over 150 additional indies to check out and wishlist.
The May 2025 edition of the showcase pulled in nearly 80,000 live views on the official stream alone and racked up close to 1 million views across co-streams, influencer reactions, and trailers. Game Informer even called it:
“This year’s best indie game showcase and one of my favorites ever.”
Since debuting in 2022, the Six One Indie Showcase has featured almost 200 indie games, giving a platform to projects of all sizes—from solo dev experiments to international studio premieres. Despite its growth, the showcase has stayed true to its zero-barriers, zero-cost mission, ensuring developers get the spotlight without paywalls.
