Fanatical and Humble Bundle are easily the most popular bundle sites online, offering countless games, books, software, and more over the years at great discounts and benefitting good causes. This month, it both sites have a vast and eclectic of indie showcase bundles available for you to peruse. The Humble 15th Anniversary Indie Icons Showcase bundle gets you 8 games for just $10, with titles like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night and Citizen Sleeper as part of its catalogue. Fanatical, on the other hand, has the Build Your Own Indie Showcase Bundle, which has a variable pricing model where you can buy as many of the 20 listed games as you want. The more games you add, the more you’ll save in the long run. Regardless of which bundle you pick, every game included is given as a digital Steam key. These can expire, so be sure to redeem them before it’s too late. Check out the full lists below.
Humble 15th Anniversary Indie Icons Showcase
While this indie showcase bundle doesn’t quite have nearly the same quantity of games as the Fanatical version, some of the best indie games in recent years are included. Celeste is a super challenging 2D platformer that will tug hard at your heartstrings, while Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (a personal favorite of mine) is a Castlevania-adjacent adventure developed by small indie studio ArtPlay, which is headed by Castlevania legend Koji “Iga” Igarashi. There’s a sequel coming soon, so it may be a good time to jump in now. If you like narrative-centered RPGs, Citizen Sleeper is a gorgeous tabletop-inspired story set in a Cyberpunk world. You can pay as much as you want, but if you want the full 8-game bundle, a minimum of $10 is required. Any extra amount you decide to donate goes directly to the corresponding charity.
Humble Bundle is known for a portion of their proceeds going to charity, and the Indie Icons Showcase selection is no different. This bundle benefits the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit that emphasis our rights in digital spaces. Comprised of a team of activists, attorneys, and technologists, they fight to protect and elevate privacy and free expression online around the world and around the world.

Fanatical Build Your Own Indie Showcase Bundle
Fanatical’s Build Your Own Indie Showcase Bundle works like the retailer’s other build-your-own bundle deals, offering a scaling price depending on how many PC games you pick, with a max of 20 titles available. The deal starts at three games for $7.49, which is $2.50 per game. Then if you move up to 5 games or more, the games go down to $2.40 each. For 7 or more games, you’ll get each one for $2.25 instead. If you decide you want the entire 20-game bundle, that will run you just $45, saving you 83% off of the combined total value $264.70.
While the available games here aren’t as prolific or critically acclaimed compared to what you can get from the Humble Bundle indie selection, there are plenty of different genres of indie games you can check out here. Void Miner is a deceptively deep top-down Roguelite bullet hell reminiscent of classic games like Asteroids with plenty of customization and routes to uncover. Then If you’re into resource management sims or tabletop agriculture games like Settlers of Catan, Townsfolk is a pixel-art game in the genre with a medieval aesthetic. I’d also recommend Flick Shot Rogues. This is a dungeon crawling Roguelike where you have to line up attacks perfectly on the board to get ahead, kind of like what you’d see in a game of pool or Ball X Pit.
As of writing this, there are still 34 days left to pick up the games offered in the bundle. So, if you need time to do your research on which games speak to you and which ones don’t, there’s no rush.
