If you're reading this, then you've already taken the first step to getting involved with our Indies Games Survey for 2026.
Completing this survey will help us get to know you – our audience – better, and this in turn will help to shape and evolve the site in a way that directly benefits you. Don't click off the page yet! We've created this in 'easy' mode; it'll only take a minute (or so), and the questions are super simple. We promise.
Still here? Then we can only assume you're up for the challenge. Let's get straight into it:
Sorry, this survey is now closed
We're running the same survey across all our sites, so if it's showing as already answered, that's because you probably answered it on one of our other sites.
Thank you for taking the time to answer these short questions; it helps us build a deeper understanding of our audience, and your feedback directly influences both our editorial and advertising partners.
We keep all survey data anonymised in accordance with our privacy policy.

Done! Had to check my finished games! 7 in the last six months for me, but sometimes it's more.
Voted on all question but the one about hours per week because there are weeks I might only play indies and others I might not play any indies.
It depends what got my attention that week and the only advantage publisher pushed games have is they have bigger marketing budget so I’m more likely to know they exist. If it clicks, I’m as likely to play an indie as a gigantic Triple A game.
@Rimebreaker same, it really depends on the period. Looking back, this year for example I have played fewer indies than usual so far, and have replayed a lot more games than I usually do too.
@clvr @Rimebreaker Same. Completely depends what i am playing at the time. May go a week, or a month with no indies, but then get stuck into something, or several indies, for weeks on end.
Per hour of gaming I find I get more out of indies than AAA which are often flashy but less interesting to me ultimately. But I like a healthy dose of them all.
Oof, how many indies I've played so far this year depends on how you define 'played' and how you define 'indie'. But it's most likely more than 50.
