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!

You can even interact with the developers via livestreams and chats, and wishlist the demos you want to keep up with so you can be notified when they launch on Steam.
