This part is interesting. I wonder if that means we get 4 games instead of 3 every month, where one of them is a new indie that launches in the service as well as for sale on PS4/PS5.
That's... something, but I'll be fine with CrossCode on Game Pass for that particular month. Hopefully they manage to get actual new releases (and good games) for PS Now.
Been excited about the prospect of Yoshida working with indies, so can't wait to see the results.
But that's pretty lame. At the beginning of that sentence I was expecting them to announce a NEW indie game would be hitting Now every month, like we used to get on PS Plus or get multiple new indies on Game Pass every month. Instead it's an old mediocre indie game that was already even on Game Pass two years ago. I really wish they would take Now more seriously.
Was excited to see what Shuhei was going to do when his title was changed.
Wait, are you talking PS Plus or Now? PS Now only gets 3 new titles every month currently?

According to the article, they will debut 9 games, so probably unannounced games.
Glad Sony seem to be doubling down on their indie's support, much like early this gen! Excited to see what they reveal today, and the "new indie title will join the PlayStation Now service every month" should add some more variety to the service (hopefully it is a bonus game in addition to the 3 on average we get announced at the start of the month)

Yes, PS Now only gets 3 new titles per month. There was an exception earlier this year where they just dumped a bunch of Japanese games (I think it was maybe 6 games?) in a month, but nothing like that since then.
Do you have some place to be? What's the rush? It's likely they'll announce the first game on the hour, so in 3 minutes from now.
Sounds great.
But I hope it's not just a repeat of early PS4 era when they supported indies just because there weren't many games yet on the system at launch. After a while, indies a forgotten.

Plindies? Playndies?
If the June event is anything to go by then this should be interesting. Those games looked great!

They say they will be 'debuting', so sounds like new games, or at least games that Sony hasn't presented before.
Cool! Some of the best and most heartfelt and creative games of this gen are indie games. Always down to put a few new ones on my radar.
Show Spelunky 2 or nothing at all. It says debuting so probably nothing old, but I doubt none of them are Spelunky 2.

Love Yosp. I can hear his voice when reading that article.
Shuhei seems to have always been a positive impact on creative, experimental and flat out weird games, not to mention how he cultivated an identity for Sony First Party as head of WWS. I am sure so many good things will come out of this initiative with him at the head of it.

Summer of Arcade was awesome back in the day. So many good games.
I agree that a properly advertised State Of Play focused 100% on indie games would be good.
But again, they need to say it loud, or 'gamers' would be upset: only AAA make headlines.
Things might go differently now that Yoshida is heading that division.
Hopefully the indie games coming to Now will quickly become brand new releases, not year old games like Hello Neighbor.
Thanks for reminding me that Silksong still doesnt have a release date :(
