What are we all playing this Steam Next Fest?
A run down of the best and the rest of the 2026 Steam Next Fest.
A run down of the best and the rest of the 2026 Steam Next Fest. Saturdays are for… Wait, wrong game round up post.
The short version
- This isn't a What are we all playing this weekend? , this is where we'll be shouting about the gems (and lumps of coal) we've discovered in this week's Steam Next Fest .
- From June 15th - 22nd, Valve are hosting a section on Steam where developers can share demos of their upcoming games.
- Though, while it's a good opportunity to find games to add to our wishlist, it is also a tad overwhelming.
- With roughly a gazillion demos to choose from, how on earth can you sift through them?
What the source reports
We plan to play a fair stack of demos ourselves and write up many in individual posts, but there will be some that are best served with only a paragraph or two. We'll share the short write ups below and link off to any longer ones we publish. But, as great as our words may be, I'm honestly more interested in reading what you've been playing.
Why it matters
Every time Valve run a big demo event, I find more good games through the comments left under articles than I do picking through the store myself.
