Beginning in 2027, crowbar will host three annual Steam events hand-curated to champion, elevate and celebrate the very best of the indie scene. These events will be dedicated to the human beings pouring their all into these unforgettable experiences we adore daily as players.
Before the annual rotation goes into motion, we'll be hosting a special Steam event between November 16th and 23rd, 2026: Grand Theft Autumn.
November is shaping up to be a challenging month when it comes to indie visibility. Grand Theft Autumn will focus on both indies that have launched throughout the year and those still to come. Submissions will open on September 18th, so please keep an eye on our Bluesky account for next steps.
