The Busan Indie Connect Festival Organizing Committee (BIC) has announced an IP expansion project built upon 'YouTube Playables' in partnership with YouTube. This collaboration establishes a cooperative model to bring indie game IPs directly into the YouTube Playables ecosystem.

YouTube Playables is a service that allows users to play games instantly without the need for app installations or downloads. Starting with 37 titles in November 2023, the library has since expanded to include hundreds of games. Recently, they introduced a Gemini 3-powered Playables builder, which allows for the creation of games using text, image, and video prompts.

BIC has selected seven titles from five studios to be featured on YouTube Playables. A private networking session is scheduled for the 14th, and a panel session dedicated to YouTube Playables will be held at the Busan Indie Wave Conference. Two participating developers and Supercent will join the panel.

Joo Sung-pil, Chairman of the BIC Organizing Committee, stated, "This collaboration with YouTube will serve as the most intuitive and innovative bridge for indie games to transcend the limitations of traditional distribution platforms and reach a global audience." He added, "I hope attendees experience the boundless potential of indie games, and BIC will continue to be a reliable partner that drives new growth for developers."
