How to interpret the lineup and its release dates
The roundup reports 48 games overall, but its captured lists contain eight pre-show entries and 40 main-show entries, including the vinyl announcement, which is not a game. Those names therefore do not reconcile cleanly to 48 game titles; the listed titles are reproduced without inventing an extra entry.
The event’s release windows are historical, not current guidance. Game Informer’s May 22, 2025 recap listed Hotel Barcelona for September 26, 2025, Rue Valley for November 11, 2025, and MOUSE: P.I. For Hire for April 16, 2026. Those are dates reported by that publication, not independently verified statements of present availability. Check each game’s current store page for platform, release status, and demo availability.

How Six One Indie describes the showcase
On its official showcase page, Six One Indie currently says developer submissions and participation are free: “Submission and participation comes at no cost to the developers.” It also says, “Aside from sponsor shout-outs, there are no ads or paid commercial spots available.” These statements describe the organizer’s current showcase policy, not a separately verified account of every detail of the 2025 event.
