How does Steam Next Fest work?

Steam Next Fest is Valve’s opportunity to bring the community and developers together in one place. During the days in which it is celebrated, you will be able to install exclusive demos of some of the titles that are expected to arrive at some point in 2022.


On the main page of the event you will find the broadcast schedule. In them you will be able to see the developers play their games and share first-hand impressions. We emphasize the exclusivity of the demonstrations: many of them will disappear when the event ends, so you have in your hand to fill your calendar in the coming months.

Go to Steam and click on the new special header for the occasion. Inside you will see three panels: Genres, Streams, and Categories. Whether you want to search for action, strategy, or role titles, among others, you can filter on exactly the field you’re looking for.

The event will coincide with the launch of the Steam Deck, Valve‘s handheld. As of February 25, emails will be sent to complete the purchase in queue order. It will not be until the 28th when the first units are shipped.
