Indie Games Category Now Available on PS3

PlayStation and Sony Network have announced that a new category will be added to the PlayStation Store list later today.

The new category called “Indie Games” will showcase PS3 and Vita games from Indie developers.  Once the new page is up you won’t have to search through the store to find all your favorite Indie games as they’ll all be housed in one convenient place now.

Some of the games that will now be listed in the Indie section include the puzzle game Unfinished Swan and the PSN exclusive Journey.  Some of the newer Indie games such as Guacamelee! and Thomas Was Alone which was greatly received during the Spring Fever event will also be listed here.

To celebrate the launch of the new Indie Games store on the PSN, Sony will be having a sale on the following games:

• – Retro City Rampage will receive a 50% discount from May 7 – 21
• – Papo & Yo bundle including the soundtrack and game will be listed at 40% off (55% off for PlayStation Plus subscribers) from May 7 – 21
