The October Steam Next Fest is here, bringing demos for hundreds of upcoming games in an easy-to-browse and easy-to-install format.
Steam Next Fests are great ways to easily check out upcoming game demos. Essentially, there’s one major page with every demo on it. Players can scroll through them and hover to easily install a demo.
The games can be sorted by genre, charts, and even a curated “for you” page. There’s even a livestreams area to browse games through.
Some of the most popular titles taking part in this Steam Next Fest include Strinova, Superive, Popucom, Fast Food Simulator, and Temtem: Swarm. However, with over 3,000 to choose from, there are plenty of great demos that aren’t on the most trending lists.
When it comes to simulators, a great option is Bazaar Simulator, a shop sim with a unique, hands-on twist. There’s also Drive Thru Simulator, Horse Farm Simulator, Cabin Crew Life Simulator, and more.
There’s something for everyone in every genre you can think of. If you want to explore an open world, games like Luma Island or Dog Walking Adventures are perfect. If you want to toss your friends, Nice to Yeet You has a demo. There’s even a hidden object puzzle game set in Tokyo, Cats and Seek: Tokyo.
Story-driven gamers have a lot of variety as well, with titles like Cook For Love, Beastieball, Snowfall Symphony, and My Party Needs An Alchemist.
Tabletop and card game lovers also have a lot to look forward to. Games like Crack It Up!, Card Weapon Shop, Tiny Kingdom, and Shuffle Quest offer different kinds of gameplay based on physical games.
There are also several different kinds of multiplayer games, from online games like Arcane Wilds to local multiplayer titles like Perennial.
Several popular titles are part of Steam Next Fest, including Delta Force, Marvel Rivals, Tempest Rising, Sand, and The Precinct. Games like Stray Path and Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven are also highly-anticipated games.
This Steam Next Fest will run from October 14 to October 21 at 10 AM PT. Players can wishlist the games they enjoy to easily watch for releases.
