Why partner with indie.io?
Vying for market share in the gaming space has never been more demanding. In 2023, more than 14,500 games released on Steam - that equates to nearly 40 titles released per day!
The oversaturation of releases makes it harder for great games to be discovered and reach their earning potential. Around 80% of games earn less than $35,000 in their lifetime, often failing to earn development costs back.
With more than 83,000 games on Steam’s storefront, and limited promotional opportunities available on-platform, the need for your release to cut through the noise and demonstrate longevity in the marketplace is more critical than ever.
As a developer, you need a partner to boost your game’s discoverability and identify your potential audience from announcement all the way through launch - and that’s where indie.io comes in.

CASE STUDY
HumanitZ won
survival of the fittest
-
HumanitZ knew they were making a hit and needed a partner who believed in his vision for sky-high growth
-
indie.io went all-in on HumanitZ development, with the CEO himself participating in playtests to prepare for launch (and loving the hell out of it!)
-
Amongst several promotional activations, indie.io secured a Curated Promotion for Midweek Madness, on the Front Page of the Steam Store
"I was opposed to bringing on a partner and we turned down at least six before we met with indie.io. Their commitment to market with their own money and not take a cut of our payout to recoup it felt like indie.io was all in and that we were teaming up"
CVeeDub, HumanitZ
CASE STUDY
“indie.io took the reins and delivered on everything growth related, giving me more time and space to focus on actually developing my game”
Charles Moore, Manager of Dark Deity & Dark Deity 2
Dark Deity’s trust in indie.io was well rewarded,
with a significant investment that resulted a thriving franchise
-
Dark Deity’s Lead Developer, Charles, had a real turn-based, RPG gem but understood how risky it was to publish solo
-
Dark Deity received multi-channel marketing and promotional support, spanning event promotions, performance ads, influencer campaigns, and Steam optimizations
-
indie.io worked from Sign to Launch on a short turn-around – it’s never too late to join our platform!
