Indie Showcase 2025

At Develop:Brighton each year there's a dedicated area within the Expo called the Indie Showcase featuring 10 independently developed games that have been shortlisted by a panel of industry experts.

One game is selected by an expert judging panel as the Indie Showcase Winner, and attendees also have the opportunity to vote for their favourite game to be crowned the People's Choice Award.
