There’s a New Indie Publisher, and It’s Bringing All Its Games to PS5
Kinetic Publishing, a new UK-based indie publisher, has announced its launch with an initial slate of five games, all confirmed for PlayStation 5. The publisher was spun out from the team behind Phasmophobia, marking the developers’ expansion into publishing operations to support independent game projects. The decision to bring all five titles to PS5 establishes the platform as a key focus for the new publisher. The move reflects a broader industry trend where game developers branch into publishing, creating opportunities for emerging studios to reach wider audiences and achieve greater commercial success. This business model allows teams with development expertise to support other independent projects, strengthening the indie gaming ecosystem.
