Next Fest is a way for Steam players to try out upcoming releases before they ever land on the storefront.

You can play demos from as many games as you like until you find something you really love.

Next Fest runs for the entire week starting on Monday, February 5, 2024, and ending on Monday, February 12, 2024.

Some of the most popular games included at Steam Next Fest include Dungeonborne, a first-person PvPvE dungeon crawler.

You can play either alone or in a group, to make your way through the game’s twisting dungeons.

Another highly-rated game available to play is Xbox’s Lightyear Frontier.

This is a farming simulator set on another planet, where you try to build a new homebase for you and up to three other players.

While you are all housed inside mechs, you can go out into the open world, gather materials, and harvest from your farm.

The final trending game we’d like to highlight is Pacific Drive, a survival game with a twist.

In survival games you usually have to brave the wilderness alone, but in this game, you will be taking your car with you.

There will be supernatural forces to fight along the way, as you drive in first-person around the Pacific Northwest.

Every single game available during Steam Next Fest is free to download and try, and you can play as many as you want.
