Search giant Google has launched the third edition of its Indie Games Fund to support independent developers and studios across Latin America. 

Google will award selected companies with $2 million (R$11 million) including hands-on support to some small games studios in the region. 

All indie game developers who have launched a game on Google Play, PC or console are eligible to apply. Once selected, each recipient will be given around $150,000 and $200,000 to take their game to the next level. 

Providing support 

“This year, we will invest $2 million (R$11 million) in the local gaming industry. This division works as follows: from among the applicants, we select 10 studios, that is, $200 thousand for each," said head of partnerships at Google Play Latin America in a post. 

“And we help them bring a game that has already been released to the Google Play mobile ecosystem or improve a product that is already available on the platform."

Developers can check the eligibility criteria and also apply from the official website. Applications will close on Friday, September 13th 2024 with priority given to applications received by Friday, August 30th, 2024.
