Steam’s Next Fest is a celebration of upcoming games, and there are hundreds of them! The event kicked off today and runs until June 26th. There are live broadcasts and demos to try.
Below is a lengthy list of games featured at Next Fest that have demos. Because there are several hundred games, this is not an exhaustive list*, but we’ve captured a decent slice. I also sorted the below titles into categories and added additional Steam tags as needed if a game was cross-genre or had additional/unique identifiers.
