Earlier this year, we introduced Google Play’s Indie Games Fund to support small games studios based in Latin America, one of the fastest-growing markets in gaming. The Fund provides selected studios with $2 million in cash awards — without giving up equity in return — plus hands-on support to help them build and grow their businesses.
Today, we’re announcing the 10 indie studios (and their games) that have been selected.

For example, 29 Latin American studios have participated in the Indie Games Accelerator, a global program offering training and mentorship.
