Top-rated Steam PC Demos Released Last Week (20th–26th of July 2026)

Every week, we check out all of the top demos launched on Steam, and we find the most highly-rated ones. We think demos are a pivotal part of the industry, and we want to support the developers that make demos a thing for their titles.

One thing worth noting is that, since this is a hand-curated list of titles, we're not including anything that uses AI-generated content in it. We want to highlight the human developers working hard across the industry. You can learn more here.
