Viva Republica, operator of the Toss app, said on Sunday it will participate as a partner company in the step-by-step competitive selection programme "2026 Indie Game Dev Camp" to discover and support promising indie game projects.

Indie Game Dev Camp is a project promoted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency to strengthen the growth capacity of South Korea's game industry. It discovers early-stage start-ups and prospective founders with creative ideas and provides systematic support, from development to commercialisation and investment connections, through staged competitive selection.

Toss plans to focus on helping indie game companies address structural constraints and providing practical support for market settlement. It also plans to actively review the possibility of investing in games with strong business potential to help broaden the user base.

Toss previously signed an MOU with KOCCA at the "Korea Indie Game Showcase 2025" held in December last year to support expansion of South Korea's HTML5 game base. This participation is a move that further specifies support for the indie game ecosystem as an extension of that agreement.

A Toss official said, "Toss will not spare practical support so that indie game developers with innovative ideas can settle in the market and expand to the global stage." The official added, "We will continue to build a healthy digital ecosystem that grows together with creators based on a user-centred philosophy."
