A new bundle on itch.io is offering buyers a low-cost way to pick up a large collection of DRM-free games while also helping developers affected by industry layoffs. The Game Industry Hardship Fund bundle is priced at $10 and is available through August 13.
According to the listing details highlighted in the report, the bundle currently includes more than 100 indie titles. It also adds a small mix of soundtracks, game assets, and other materials, making it broader than a standard game-only sale.
The fundraiser arrives at a time when the video game business has been hit by an extended wave of job cuts. Recent layoffs across the industry have affected thousands of workers, adding to broader concerns about stability for studios and independent creators.
That context is a major reason the bundle stands out. For players, it is an inexpensive way to discover a wide range of indie work. For affected developers, the bundle is intended to provide support during a period when many game industry workers are facing sudden job losses and financial uncertainty.
