Steam’s iconic Next Fest is back, bringing with it an avalanche of playable PC game demos from all genres and themes, of all sizes.
Valve’s now-regular event has officially kicked off, and will continue to run until 4AM, Tuesday October 17th, giving you about a week to work your way through literal hundreds of exciting demos for upcoming games.
You can find the dedicated landing page for Steam Next Fest right here, where everything is split into general categories and can be further filtered so you’re able to look for demos that are 1000% your vibe without wading through things that are not. Along with the demos are a number of special scheduled broadcasts including gameplay livestreams and developer talks – it’s a week of fun!
