Content creators & Tiny Teams
It's that time of year again - time is ticking down until our 2026 festival, and we'd love to invite all content creators and gaming journalists to get involved!
This year's festival runs from 6th - 13th August 2026 and contains a carefully curated selection of around 200 indie titles, covering a wide variety of genres and styles. Some, you may have already heard of - but you'll also discover a world of hidden gems, and have the opportunity to get your hands on new and exclusive content.
Tiny Teams is open for all creators who wish to to take part. You’ll be able to find information about the games in the Tiny Teams Discord, including links to lots of exciting demos to try out - many of which will be releasing brand new content updates for the festival.
However, we also have some extra opportunities available - you can apply now to be granted access to bonus private channels, in which you'll be able to claim game keys for certain games through a Discord bot. These keys include fully released games, as well as early or exclusive access to demos and playtests.

These keys include fully released games, as well as early or exclusive access to demos and playtests.

Acceptance emails will be going out in waves throughout July and early August, so please hold tight if you don't receive an acceptance straight away.
We may also be able to accept extra creators shortly before the festival (or even once the festival has begun) if there are leftover spots or lots of unclaimed keys.
-
Tiny Teams is open to creators of all sizes! However, these are some of the things we look for:
your channel has been recently active (bonus points for consistently active)
your channel is relevant to indie gameplay - not just music or cat videos!
if you're a streamer, your previous streams are available for the public to watch (if you use Twitch, we recommend enabling autosave, and ensuring they are not set to sub-only)
ideally, you use a microphone in your content
-
If you have been granted access to the bonus channels, you'll be able to start claiming keys from Monday 3rd August. Keys are first come, first served, although we may be able to restock some titles if they run out.
You are welcome to start pre-recording content as soon as you receive access to keys – just bear in mind that some games will be updated at the start of the festival, so you may miss out on the latest content.
We ask that you do not livestream any of the Tiny Teams games, or publish social / video content, before Thursday 6th August at 18:00 BST, when the festival begins.
-
No. Keys are non-transferable, and you are not allowed to gift or sell them to anyone else. The exception is for multiplayer games, where you may be able to claim extra keys so that you can make content with friends.
-
Press kits for each game will be linked on the Creator Information Document made available shortly before the festival.
