Valve-led digital video game distributor Steam is putting the little guy in the limelight with this season’s Next Fest. The celebration highlights exciting upcoming video games from innovative indie developer teams. From February 24 to March 3 at 10 a.m. PST, get your hands on release dates, gameplay clips, and playable demos. Steam users can tune into live streams and even connect with dev teams to discuss their titles.
The platform’s Next Fests have historically acted as a kind of lead-up to its seasonal sales, giving eager gamers a chance to explore blockbuster releases and content from small studios they might’ve otherwise missed. Like a kind of groundhog shadow sighting for gamers, the Next Fest kickoff means eager users are forecasting the arrival of Steam’s beloved Spring Sale.
But before heading to the platform to take a peek, ensure you’ve got ample free space for downloads and a few more additions to your Steam Wishlist.
Though it’s only February, gamers already know the year ahead will be an exciting one. With highly-anticipated AAA games like Grand Theft Auto VI and Monster Hunter Wilds and brand-new titles like Directive 8020 and Hell is Us, PC, handheld, and console gamers will have full schedules. Don’t worry — there’s no financial commitment necessary. Demo downloads won’t run Steam users a dime, and starting a Steam account is free. With exciting releases from massive studios coming out left and right, tuning into Next Fest ensures you won’t lose promising new indie releases in the shuffle.
Head to Steam to get started.
