Grow your indie game with help from Google Play

Google Play is enhancing its support for indie game developers through the Indie Games Accelerator and Indie Games Festival, both of which are open for submissions. These initiatives aim to foster growth for small game studios by providing mentorship, education, and promotional opportunities. The Accelerator program offers a 12-week online course featuring access to Google and industry experts, ideal for developers close to launching a new game or who have recently released a title. Conversely, the Festival focuses on showcasing high-quality games that have already been launched, offering developers the chance to win promotional campaigns and be featured on the Google Play store. This year, the programs have expanded to include more eligible markets, with developers from over 70 countries able to apply, and will feature fully digital event experiences.
