Valve has just launched Steam Next Fest; an event during which PC gamers can gain access to a lot of game demos. From today and until June 22, Steam is showcasing over 700 demos for the newest upcoming games across all genres from teams all over the world.
You can gain access to these demos by visiting the official page of Steam Next Fest. I’ve also attached below some images that showcase a number of these free demos.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Maybe its time for valve actually review these trash indie games, cause some of them shouldn’t even be on the store
So you just want Hollywood games with no gameplay and hollow storyline?
There are plenty of indie games with “no gameplay” and “hollow storyline”.
The amount of “fresh and unique” isometric RPGs is astonishing……
As if indie meant the opposite.
it’s probably more like he doesn’t want any games he doesn’t like on the store
Some… but not all
if Steam rules allow then they have a right to be on the store
no-one is forcing you to click on or buy the games
700 demo games, without sorting, ratings and relevant categories.
Not to mention that therre should be some “Spotlight” program for those that were downloaded the most, played the most and highest score.
They’re sorted, here’s a fun one.
So far just playing the tutorial, not to be confused with “‘Omerta: City of Gangsters”

Too much garbage for such a limited time so I won’t check any of them. Valve should curate the best 100 (or less) indies if they really want users to play the demos.
great idea! need a top 10 best list
more like worse than garbage.
I usually can’t even find more then a few games worth checking out in these demo festivals. The VR section is disappointing. I thought VR would surge after Half-Life: Alyx but if anything… it’s more dead then ever. Nothing but niche/crap on the platform now. RIP VR!
It f*king sucks. I think they jumped the gun just a little bit too early. After the next set of graphics cards or the one after that we should be at a point where you can have very good graphics on two screes with high refresh rate with dlss like technology. Hell even now it’s pretty dang good. The biggest issues seem to be the sickness people feel. I’m sure there is a way to fix that with latency reduction and or brightness reduction.
I think the thing with VR is while yeah it’s fun/cool. The novelty/excitement wears down a few months later and you go back to regular gaming. I go through phase’s with it myself. Lately tho… it feels dead. The thing is… it’s not hard to implement into a game as seen by No Man’s Sky. And that even runs with DLSS. The technology is there… I just don’t think it’s much of a selling point in the grand scheme of gaming.
It could potentially pick up again once PSVR 2 releases. Gotta wait a little longer to find out for sure.
steam once claimed that they’re “not the taste p0lice”, that’s a lie obviously based on how they’ve gone after and censored/banned many Japanese games for it’s fanservice since they made that claim
seems many of the users themselves are the taste p0lice too, judging on how they keep saying this and that should not be on the store
no-one is forcing you to click on or buy the games, stop acting like SJWs
Exactly!
Pandering or censorship is never going to solve anything.
man, thats exactly it, i dont se what is the fuss of the people, is not like this games buy themselves into our accounts, live and let live i say.
700 demos for 700 shtty indie pixel sidescrollers.
well guys, no one is forcing you to buy o play this games, if you dont like it dont buy it, i dont know what is the deal with the complains, you can still buy and play dota , CSGo ,etc without this kind of games interfering so live and let live is what i think.
