You look at the PlayStation 4 and how it’s drawing the curtain on its current era, and it’s a look back at high budgets, gorgeous visuals and plenty of sandboxes. Make no mistake, some of the best games of this generation have been PlayStation exlcusives, but beneath all the glitz and glamour of a AAA release there are a wealth of other games that deserve just as much attention.

The indie market is stronger than ever, pumping out wildly imaginative games and putting a new spin on old ideas that may seem risky, but happen to be highly rewarding at the same time. Sony’s finally cottoned onto the idea that people like not having to spend several lifetimes playing a single game, and they’ll be working to highlight some of those ems within their new PlayStation Indies initiative. “I’m pleased to formally announce the PlayStation Indies initiative,” said Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida in a PS Blog post.

With PlayStation Indies, we hope to spotlight and support the best of the best indie games being published on PlayStation and the entire indie community as a whole. Our goal is to make PlayStation the best place to develop, find, and play great indie games. The indie community is increasingly important for the future of the video game industry, as AAA game development has grown so financially demanding that big companies are finding it harder to take risks to invest in new concepts that may or may not work.

We trust indie developers with strong vision will continue to bring ideas that have never been tried before, creating whole new genres of games and advancing the art and meaning of video games. While details are still forthcoming, we are also happy to confirm a new indie title will join the PlayStation Now service every month, starting with Hello Neighbor in July.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the first batch of games coming, which will be available on both PS4 and PS5:
