Hundreds of free demos await you as Steam Next Fest kicks off a full week of fun, all in celebration of upcoming games on Steam.
Spend Steam Next Fest playing as many demos as you want; just don't forget to wishlist your favorites so that you can stay in-the-know with the developers when they officially launch.
Valve/Steam hosts Next Fest three times a year (February, June, October) as a way to give developers from around the world a captive audience for their demos on games they haven't released yet. If you already have a bunch of genres that are your faves, feel free to search that way. BUT we also encourage you to try something new-- check out the video player at the top of the main Next Fest hub for a new sprinkling of demos each day and perhaps discover your NEW favorite genre or theme!
Several developers are hosting livestreams as well, so be sure to check those out.
