Sony has revealed several new indie game titles that will be coming to the PS5 and PS4.

Speaking of this, Yoshida said, “We trust indie developers will continue to bring ideas that have never been tried before, creating whole new genres of games and advancing the art and meaning of video games.”

As of 1st July 2020, the following are the most recent indie games for the PS5 and PS4:

Worms Rumble, real-time multiplayer action game for PS4 and PS5
Haven, a chill co-op adventure for PS4 and PS5

Sony will be also be publishing monthly news about the indie platform and games.
