Every year brings something unexpected and delightful, no matter what your genre of preference is. The indie-focused teams here at Sony Interactive Entertainment have bundled up some of their personal favorite indie games from the past year. Here are some of the games that surprised, enchanted, and tickled us in 2025. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby Steps<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Developer: <\/strong>Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, Bennett Foddy<br \/><strong>Publisher: <\/strong>Devolver Digital<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-youtube-id=\"WiP1BPBFb3A\" data-title=\"\">\n\t<button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\">\n\t\t<title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"><\/path>\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play  Video<\/span><br \/>\n\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WiP1BPBFb3A\" class=\"youtube-video__link\" aria-label=\"Play Video on YouTube.

It\u2019s pure, joyful chaos \u2014 the kind of game that grabs you immediately and refuses to let go. And for me personally, seeing Kenny Sun behind this made it even better. I\u2019ve followed his work since my early editorial days and loved his 2016 platformer Circa Infinity. Watching his evolution from those minimalist, mind-bending roots to something this loud, playful, and polished \u2014 all as a single developer \u2014 is incredibly cool.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue Prince<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Developer: <\/strong>Banana Bird Studios<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Raw Fury<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-youtube-id=\"jdRnQzfp2ks\" data-title=\"\">\n\t<button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\">\n\t\t<title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"><\/path>\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play  Video<\/span><br \/>\n\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jdRnQzfp2ks\/default.jpg 120w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jdRnQzfp2ks\/mqdefault.jpg 320w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jdRnQzfp2ks\/hqdefault.jpg 480w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jdRnQzfp2ks\/sddefault.jpg 640w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jdRnQzfp2ks\/maxresdefault.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1170px) 936px, (min-width: 960px) 80vw, 100vw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/jdRnQzfp2ks\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"10 indie games from 2025 that delighted the PlayStation Indies teams\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jdRnQzfp2ks\" class=\"youtube-video__link\" aria-label=\"Play Video on YouTube.

Several of us ended up having the same unexpected experience with it \u2014 even though it\u2019s a single-player game, it became something we played alongside our partners or friends at home. We\u2019d compare notes, swap theories, and brainstorm puzzle solutions together like we were part of some shared secret. That sense of quiet discovery, of unraveling something strange and elegant piece by piece, is exactly what makes this one so special. It\u2019s stylish, clever, and lingers with you long after you stop playing.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Developer:<\/strong> Sandfall Interactive<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Kepler Interactive<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video has-agegate\" data-youtube-id=\"2VaLOc1FpSo\" data-title=\"\">\n\t<button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\">\n\t\t<title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"><\/path>\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play  Video<\/span><br \/>\n\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2VaLOc1FpSo\/default.jpg 120w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2VaLOc1FpSo\/mqdefault.jpg 320w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2VaLOc1FpSo\/hqdefault.jpg 480w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2VaLOc1FpSo\/sddefault.jpg 640w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2VaLOc1FpSo\/maxresdefault.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1170px) 936px, (min-width: 960px) 80vw, 100vw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/2VaLOc1FpSo\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"10 indie games from 2025 that delighted the PlayStation Indies teams\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2VaLOc1FpSo\" class=\"youtube-video__link\" aria-label=\"Play Video on YouTube.

The art style adds to that effect with a gentle, dreamlike quality that makes the world feel both real and surreal.

What sets it apart, though, is how quickly these larger-than-life characters develop as you play. Beneath the capes and theatrics, they\u2019re full of surprising warmth, messy emotions, and a delightful streak of pettiness that fuels hilarious office drama. It\u2019s a refreshing twist on the narrative-driven adventure games and super hero content we\u2019ve all grown accustomed to. Dispatch finds its own unique voice in that space, which is a superhuman feat in itself, and focuses on unmasking the larger-than-life personalities to study the flawed people behind the costumes. AdHoc reminds us why this genre continues to be so compelling.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hollow Knight: Silksong<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Developer:<\/strong> Team Cherry<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong> Team Cherry<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-youtube-id=\"65IQ1JuyYfY\" data-title=\"\">\n\t<button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\">\n\t\t<title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"><\/path>\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play  Video<\/span><br \/>\n\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/65IQ1JuyYfY\/default.jpg 120w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/65IQ1JuyYfY\/mqdefault.jpg 320w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/65IQ1JuyYfY\/hqdefault.jpg 480w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/65IQ1JuyYfY\/sddefault.jpg 640w, https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/65IQ1JuyYfY\/maxresdefault.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1170px) 936px, (min-width: 960px) 80vw, 100vw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/65IQ1JuyYfY\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"10 indie games from 2025 that delighted the PlayStation Indies teams\"><\/p>\n<p>\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=65IQ1JuyYfY\" class=\"youtube-video__link\" aria-label=\"Play Video on YouTube.
