Steam Next Fest for October 2025 is Here

Valve's platform has been one of the main arguments for Windows PC against consoles for years, as players have argued accessible pricing and excellent, consumer-first practices. Though Steam is recognisable primarily for its impressive four significant sales of the year, corresponding to the seasons, and also smaller deals throughout the months, there's one other thing that its known for: Steam Next Fest.

Happening three times a year, this event is highly anticipated for its quick glimpse at the future, letting players try out up-and-coming titles first-hand before their launches. Many titles have soared in popularity thanks to their participation in the event, and it's a great time for gamers and developers alike to come together and enjoy the love of videogaming.

Steam Next Fest for October is the final one of the year, as we start bidding our farewells to 2026. You're going to want to get the most of it, as we won't be seeing another one until sometime in February of the coming year at the earliest.

Steam Next Fest kicked off today, Monday, 13th of October 2025 at 18:00 BST, and you can enjoy the demos for free until Monday, 20th of October 2025 at 18:00 BST.
