Following in the footsteps of the Indie Games category’s launch for the PlayStation 3 at the beginning of May, Sony Computer Entertainment of America has announced the has announced that the Indie Games category is now open for the PlayStation Store on the PlayStation Vita handheld. Gamers will now able to pick up 53 different titles, including Hotline Miami, Guacamelee, Thomas Was Alone, Sound Shapes, Sine Mora, Dragon Fantasy, Limbo and many more.
Best of all, many of these titles support cross-buy so you already own a title for the PlayStation 3, you can play it on Vita. Conversely, buying a PS Vita version of the game nets you the PS3 version as well.
SCEA director of Product Planning & Platform Software Innovation Don Mesa stated in an official post on the US PlayStation blog that, “At PlayStation, we’re proud to support indie development, and our unrestrictive policies make it easier than ever for developers to launch games on PS Vita.
“We recognize that the unique perspective that indie developers deliver contributes to the success and future of the gaming industry. And we’ve learned as much from working with talented indie developers over the last several years as (we hope) they have learned from us.”
