Apple's Indie Games Week is live on the India App Store, with seven featured titles spanning upfront purchases, free trials and an upcoming preorder. The campaign was announced on 12 October. For Indian iPhone and iPad owners, the first check is what the download price actually buys and whether their device can run the game.
The rupee amounts below are India App Store listing prices as of 13 October 2026, 16:33 to 16:34 IST. The campaign is not a blanket discount or an offer making all seven complete games free. Apple describes the event as running through the week but does not state an exact closing timestamp for every featured price.
Three titles charge for the download
Sifu costs ₹399 upfront and lists a 2.1GB download. Its India page requires iOS 18.0 or iPadOS 18.0 or later and carries an 18+ age rating. The mobile adaptation includes touch controls, a reworked camera and full controller support, with the complete story campaign. Its inclusion in an App Store event should not be read as making it suitable for young children.
Vampire Crawlers is ₹999, with a listed size of 1.1GB and a 9+ rating. The turn-based, card-driven game requires iOS or iPadOS 18.6 or later. Its listing states support for compatible PlayStation, Xbox and MFi controllers, so players interested in a controller should check their particular accessory rather than assume any Bluetooth device works.
Dome Keeper also costs ₹999 but has a different software floor: iOS 26.0 or iPadOS 26.0. The 1.1GB title combines mining and upgrades with defending a dome against waves of creatures. It carries a 9+ rating. An iPhone running software sufficient for the other two games may still need an update, if supported, before this one can be installed.
Free to begin does not mean a free full game
Little Kitty, Big City offers a trial and lists ₹599 for a one-time full-game unlock. Its page says progress carries into the complete game, with the purchase prompt following the collection and return of 25 Shinies to Crow. It lists no subscription requirement. Its software minimum is iOS or iPadOS 13.0; the listed size is 1.3GB and the age rating is 4+.
The developer names supported hardware separately: iPhone 11 and newer, iPhone XS and newer, iPhone 12 Mini and newer, iPhone SE 3 and newer, iPad Pro 10.5-inch and newer, iPad Air fourth generation and newer, iPad tenth generation and newer, and iPad Mini sixth generation and newer. Meeting the software minimum alone does not establish device support.
9 Kings is free to try, with a ₹899 full-game unlock. The kingdom-building game lists iOS or iPadOS 15.0 or later and an A12 Bionic chip or later, alongside a 476.1MB size and 13+ rating. Its mobile features include a revised interface, Game Center achievements and cloud saving. The listed unlock amount is the relevant price here; no unverified sale deadline has been assigned to it.
Yes, Your Grace 2: Snowfall also lets players begin without buying the full game. Its public in-app-purchase list shows both ₹499 and ₹699 unlock entries, so this report cannot establish one assured checkout amount. The exact purchase prompt needs checking. The listing specifies iOS or iPadOS 16.0 or later, A12 Bionic or later, a 1.3GB download and a 13+ rating.
No Man's Sky is still a preorder
No Man's Sky was shown as an upcoming preorder, not a game already playable through this mobile listing. Apple's campaign announcement gives a worldwide date of 28 October, while the checked India App Store page says expected 29 October. Both dates should be kept distinct without assuming the reason for the difference.
The India page lists a free beginning followed by a ₹1,999 one-time full-game unlock. Requirements include iOS or iPadOS 26.0 and A12 Bionic or later, with a 3.8GB listed size and 13+ rating. Apple says the mobile release includes the Cosmos expansion. The store's exact compatible-device entry remains the final check for a particular iPhone or iPad.
Download sizes can change, and the space a game needs after installation may differ from its listing. Before approving a purchase, check the available storage, installed software and whether the amount shown buys the entire game or an unlock after a trial. The campaign announcement alone does not establish Apple Arcade inclusion.
Readers considering a separate gaming device can find related hardware coverage in the Dalimss News handheld-gaming buying report. Those devices have different software and game libraries. The phone-versus-accessory budget guide offers broader spending context; neither replaces checking these specific App Store requirements.
