Indie.io Launches Indie Pass, a $6.99 PC Subscription for Curated Indie Games

The indie-only plan leans on a playtime-based payout to boost visibility for small teams.

Overview

  • Indie.io announced Indie Pass, a PC-only subscription priced at $6.99 with roughly 70 games, including Echoes of the Plum Grove and the Dark Deity series.
  • Subscribers use a dedicated Indie Pass launcher on PC, and the catalog will grow with regular additions.
  • Developers are paid based on how much time subscribers spend playing each game on the service.
  • Participation is non-exclusive, so studios can keep selling their titles on Steam while they appear in Indie Pass.
  • The service targets players who want indie games and positions itself as a cheaper alternative to PC Game Pass, without AAA releases or console support.
