We’re less than 24 hours away from this year’s Steam Game Festival, a weeklong event featuring new and upcoming PC games available on the Steam store. There will be question and answer events with developers, live streams to watch, and hundreds of free demos to play.
The event kicks off Wednesday, February 3 and runs through Tuesday, February 9. (You can sign up for a reminder on the Official Steam Game Festival website.)
The festival’s 500 game demos cover every genre you can think of, but we won’t know the full lineup until the event kicks off. However, Valve has released several teaser videos with a small selection of games for you to try out.
Ten great titles in particular caught our attention in this roundup, and we’ll tell you about them in a minute – but they represent only a small portion of the avalanche of demos that fell during the Steam Festival. If you want more recommendations, check out Steam’s highlights with the many action, adventure, puzzle, platformer, strategy, RPG, and graphic story titles that will be available, and make sure to check the Steam app and website during the event to find and test out new games.
