Apple has launched Indie Games Week on the App Store, highlighting independent teams and announcing the debut of seven games across its catalog. The company described the event as a celebration of imaginative games created by smaller development teams.

The featured lineup includes No Man’s Sky, Sifu, Vampire Crawlers, Little Kitty, Big City, 9 Kings, Dome Keeper, and Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall.

Seven indie games highlighted by Apple

Apple is presenting the seven titles as acclaimed independent games making their App Store debuts. The selection spans several distinct styles, from the large-scale exploration of No Man’s Sky to the combat-focused Sifu and the strategy-driven Dome Keeper.

The lineup also includes Vampire Crawlers, Little Kitty, Big City, 9 Kings, and Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall. Apple’s Indie Games Week feature groups the games together as part of its broader spotlight on independent creators.

No Man’s Sky comes to iPhone and iPad

No Man’s Sky is scheduled to make its mobile debut on iPhone and iPad on October 28. Apple identified the game as one of the seven titles launching as part of the event, giving the mobile version a specific release date.

The announcement does not provide release dates for the other six games. Their inclusion in the Indie Games Week lineup indicates that Apple is highlighting them as part of the current App Store promotion, but availability details may differ by title.

Why Apple is spotlighting indie games

Indie Games Week puts attention on games made by independent teams rather than focusing only on large publishers or established franchises. For App Store users, the event creates a single destination for discovering the seven selected releases and learning more about each game.

Apple’s announcement also underscores the range of independent games available through the App Store. The company said the event celebrates the “incredible catalog” of games made by independent teams with big ambitions, while the dedicated App Store feature provides access to the highlighted titles.
