Starting 13 April, indie publisher and game platform indie.io launches subscription model Indie Pass. For 5,99€, over 70 indie games are available at the start. Indie devs can add their game non-exclusive, with revenue distributed based on player time spent.
Publisher and game management platform indie.io has announced Indie Pass, an subscription service for indie games in the style of Xbox Game Pass. The service is launching on Monday, 13 April 2026, with access to around 70 indie titles, with more being added frequently after the start of the service. It’s supposed to cost 5,99€ a month.
For developers and publishers, the platform “offers a non-exclusive, no-risk participation model, with revenue distributed based on player time spent in each game”, indie.io says.
Confirmed games for the start of the service are games published by indie.io themselves: Echoes of Plum Grove, Dark Deity, Forgotten Seas, Dream Tactics and LunarLux.
“Indie developers create some of the most innovative games in the industry, yet discoverability remains one of their biggest challenges,” said Jess Mitchell, Director of Growth. “Indie Pass is our answer to that: a dedicated destination where indie fans can uncover great titles, and where developers can build sustainable, ongoing monetization without exclusivity or heavy lift.”
