Nintendo Announces August 2025 Indie World Showcase Featuring Switch 2 and Switch Titles

Nintendo is set to broadcast its highly anticipated August 2025 Indie World Showcase later this week, marking a significant return for the company’s beloved indie-focused presentation.

The showcase, scheduled to air on Thursday at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe, will offer fans a dedicated look at upcoming indie titles planned for both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hardware platform. The live presentation is confirmed to run approximately 15 minutes and will be streamed online, giving industry professionals, gaming enthusiasts, and indie developers a close look at the future of independent gaming on Nintendo’s platforms.

This August 2025 showcase is especially noteworthy as it represents the longest gap between Indie World broadcasts since the program’s inception.

The previous Indie World event was held in August 2024, a full year prior, and was atypically combined with a Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase—an approach not chosen for this year’s presentation. Addressing the return to a more traditional schedule, a Nintendo spokesperson stated in an official release that the company is "excited to spotlight creative new projects from talented indie developers," emphasizing their commitment to providing a platform for unique voices within the gaming industry.

This statement underscores Nintendo’s enduring support for the indie scene, whose games have often been featured prominently in the eShop and during major Nintendo Direct events. This year’s presentation is expected to include reveals and updates on a variety of highly anticipated indie games, playable across both the current Nintendo Switch and its next-generation successor, the Nintendo Switch 2.

As the Switch 2 approaches its release, Nintendo is poised to leverage the combined audience of existing and future hardware owners, continuing its strategy of celebrating creativity and innovation in gaming. Fans and industry stakeholders can catch the August 2025 Indie World Showcase via Nintendo’s official channels, including live streams on the company’s YouTube and official website.

Nintendo has promised comprehensive post-event coverage, sharing all major news and announcements that emerge from the presentation.
