Steam Next Fest is back and underway with "hundreds" of playable PC demos

If it’s demos you want, today’s your lucky day; Valve’s thrice-yearly Steam Next Fest event is back for another outing, this time featuring “hundreds” of demos across its seven-day duration.

Valve’s latest Steam Next Fest is already underway and runs until Monday, 12th February. That means you’ve got approximately 160 hours to piledrive your way through everything on offer – which, given the magnitude of the task, is probably a literal impossibility at this point. But then we live in a world where someone finished Dark Souls 3 with a banana, so what do I know.

As usual, Valve has tried to make the whole Sisyphean challenge a little less daunting by sorting all those playable demos into easily perusable categories on its Steam Next Fest landing page. And while you’re there, you can also take in some of the “hours” of developer livestreams running across the week, as if you didn’t already have enough to be getting on with.
