Apple launched a promotional 'Indie Games Week' on the App Store, highlighting seven independent games that have recently launched or are set to launch soon. The company included a statement from Carson Oliver, Apple's head of App Store Worldwide, praising indie developers for creative risk-taking and unique gameplay.
Apple is highlighting several indie titles on the App Store for Indie Games Week, with No Man's Sky as the headline addition. Hello Games' space survival title will be available for pre-order now and launches on iOS and iPadOS on October 28, free to try, running on devices as old as iPhone 11 and 3rd-gen iPad Air while using under 5GB of storage. The mobile version initially lacks multiplayer and settlements, mirroring early restrictions on the Switch port, though studio co-founder Sean Murray said those features could be added later based on feedback.
Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid and The Witness, is releasing The Order of the Sinking Star this Thursday after a decade of development with a small team. He describes it as containing roughly 1,500 puzzles, which he estimates could take around 500 hours to finish.
