While AAA games dominate headlines, indie developers have carved out a powerful space within the PlayStation ecosystem. Some of the best PlayStation games of the last decade weren’t made by big-budget studios—they came from small, passionate daftar indogg teams that poured their hearts into unique experiences. PlayStation’s support for indie titles has helped diversify its library and bring fresh ideas to players.
Take Journey, for example—a simple yet emotionally profound game where players explore a mysterious desert world. It doesn’t rely on combat or dialogue, yet it tells a beautiful story entirely through visuals and music. This PlayStation classic proves that great games don’t need to be loud or explosive to be impactful.
Then there’s Hollow Knight, which found a huge audience on PlayStation. Its deep combat system, haunting atmosphere, and expansive world turned it into one of the best modern Metroidvanias. The game’s success on PlayStation consoles helped reinforce the idea that indie games could compete toe-to-toe with major titles in terms of quality and depth.
Although the PSP existed before the indie boom we see today, it still offered glimpses of what was to come. Titles like Every Extend Extra and LocoRoco were creative, experimental, and unconventional—precursors to the indie wave that would later flood PlayStation platforms. These early gems hinted at the artistic freedom that would later define the indie scene on PlayStation.
