Unleash the Future of Gaming: Get Exclusive Access to Hundreds of Unreleased Steam Next Fest Demos

Steam Next Fest: A Sneak Peek at the Best Upcoming Games

In just a few days, Steam will be hosting its latest Next Fest, a celebration of amazing demos from developers around the world. From October 14th to October 21st, you’ll have the chance to play hundreds of demos of games that haven’t even been released yet!

What to Expect

During the festival, you’ll get to experience vertical slices of some of the most anticipated games, including Antonblast, Microtopia, Mini Royale, The Precinct, and Blood Bar Tycoon, which lets you take on the role of a bar-tending vampire. You’ll also get to try out free-to-play demos of Sulfur, Battle Train, Call of Boba, Knights in Tight Spaces, Luma Island, and the intriguingly titled Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? (Yes, yes, it is.)

The Importance of Feedback

Developers are looking for your feedback and hoping to attract players to add their games to their wishlists. As Steam puts it, "No matter what kind of game you’re in the mood for, developers from all over the world are showcasing their demos during Next Fest, looking for feedback from players and hoping for wishlists."

What’s New on Steam

In preparation for new California legislation requiring storefronts to clearly indicate that customers are only buying a license for digital content, not outright ownership, Steam has implemented a clarification message at the point of purchase.

When Does the Festival Start?

The Steam Next Fest kicks off at 6pm UK time (10am PT) on Monday, October 14th, so mark your calendars and get ready to explore the best of what’s to come in the world of gaming. For more information, head over to the Next Fest landing page.
