Indie Early Access FAQ

How do I know if an indie Early Access game is still being worked on?

Look at the last update date and the consistency score on its card. A game patched in the last month with a steady history is almost certainly still in development. One with no update in six months or more has probably stalled, even if the store page still says Early Access.

Which games count as indie here?

Any Early Access game that has Indie as a Steam genre or as one of its top player tags. Steam lets developers and players set those, so a few bigger studios slip in and a few true solo projects leave it off.

Are indie Early Access games riskier to buy?

Small teams can stall when one person burns out or the money runs out, so the update history matters more than the trailer. Filter to Actively updated, and check that patches are regular rather than one burst a year.

Can I filter indie games by reviews or perspective?

Yes. The sidebar has the same filters as search: update frequency, Steam reviews, players online right now, camera perspective and the AI toggle. AI-disclosed games are hidden by default.
