If you prefer to stock your game library with indie titles, then the INDIE Live Expo is for you. This digital event will be going live on June 5 and will showcase over 300 games.

The stream starts at 10AM BST, with the English language broadcast being available to watch on YouTube and Twitch. It's worth preparing yourself for a long one - the past Live Expo events have broken past the five-hour mark.

The INDIE Live Expo 2021 will feature announcements from a host of publishers and indie studios and cover games launching on Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, mobile and PC platforms.

The event is broken down into several categories. The two biggest sections are undoubtedly INDIE Live Premier, which will highlight games chosen by the INDIE Live Expo Board, and INDIE Picks will focus on titles picked by the event’s media partners. Though, INDIE Waves and Indie Studios Around The World also promise to provide an interesting glimpse at international indie game projects.

Though there's a lot to look forward to, a few names are of particular interest. These include 505 Games, the publishers of Terraria, Control and the PC version of Death Stranding; Koch Media, the name behind Maneater, Black Desert Online and Rust; and Xbox, no doubt due to highlight titles linked to Xbox Game Pass. Sony Interactive Entertainment and Cygames are two other names to watch closely, too.

The INDIE Live Expo 2021 is a hefty starting point for a month that is full of gaming announcements and digital events, including E3 and Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest.
