My, how this year has gone by so fast! We’re already in October which, for you demo lovers, means Steam Next Fest. If you haven’t been keeping up, this is your reminder that the event will go live soon, at 10am PT.
The event gives you access to hundreds of demos of upcoming releases from a variety of studios. You can also chat with some of the developers or watch livestreams. It’s basically a celebration of everything that makes indie gaming so good.
At the moment, we don’t know exactly what’ll be featured, but the above video teases what you can expect to find. Did I just hear something about a Grim Reaper dating simulator?
Sounds Steam-y
Anyone who games on PC knows that Steam is no stranger to events, celebrations, and sales. It’s part of the reason Valve’s service is still many people’s go-to. While the Summer Sale is arguably the one that most look forward to, things like Next Fest offer up something in between the more mainstream events.
Steam also turned 20 years old recently, which was celebrated with – you guessed it – a big sale. I still can’t believe the studio behind Half-Life would go on to create one of the biggest PC gaming clients out there. Sure, there are great alternatives, such as GOG, Epic Games Store, and Humble Bundle, but Steam is pretty much the OG of this market.
Next Fest goes on until October 16, so you have plenty of time to check out what’s available from upcoming developers.
