The countdown to the Steam Next Fest is now in full swing, with the eagerly anticipated demo extravaganza set to kick off in less than 24 hours.
Steam Next Fest is an annual week-long celebration showcasing upcoming PC games that will be available on Valve’s storefront. While I personally attend to indulge in a plethora of free demos, the event also features numerous livestreams and opportunities to engage in conversations with developers about their games.
Throughout the year, we are treated to several editions of Steam Next Fest, and the inaugural event for 2024 is scheduled to commence in February.
The abundance of demos is expected, and for those seeking recommendations, I have my eye on a charming pixel art platformer that seamlessly blends cooking with Metroidvania-style gameplay, as well as a tactical RPG that exudes the essence of Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem.
For those eager to join us in the demo exploration, we have outlined the exact release time for Steam Next Fest. A countdown timer is available for those who wish to track the time down to the second, and the start times are provided below for those who prefer a straightforward schedule.

If you happen to be in the United States and plan to balance work with indulging in demos, you may face a slight wait. Meanwhile, here in Merry Old England, I’ll be joining in after work. Valve has confirmed that this edition of Steam Next Fest will last a full seven days, ensuring that you’ll have ample time to satisfy your gaming cravings.
