The INDIE Live Expo Awards will return for the third time, honoring the best indie games from October 2021 to September 2022, selected by a worldwide panel of prestigious gaming journalists and experts.
INDIE Live Expo 2022, the fifth event of the biennial showcase, was streamed across multiple platforms in three languages over two days by over 100 streamers. INDIE Live Expo has amassed over 57.5 million views across five events since its inception in 2020.

Day 2 featured new trailers for the highly anticipated upcoming Azure Striker games GUNVOLT 3 and Read-Only Memories: NEURODIVER by CHORUS Interactive and MidBoss, as well as other world premieres.
Ryu’s Office founder Ryuta Konuma said:
I saw someone say that INDIE Live Expo 2022 “inspired me to develop my game” and it really reminded me why we put on the show. We want to be a platform that will not only help gamers find the next gem they’ll tell all their friends about, but also inspire developers by showing off their amazing creations. Thanks to the support of our viewers, participating developers and sponsors, this is all happening.
