Steam Next Fest June 2025: 20 Incredible Demos to Play Before Time Runs Out

Steam Next Fest is a huge deal for PC Gaming fans. The goal of the Next Fest is to offer players an opportunity to explore various demos of upcoming games, watch developer livestreams to learn more about what is in store, and interact with studio teams about the development of their upcoming releases. Essentially, players are offered a chance to discover new and innovative indie games and get a sneak peek at titles before they are officially released to all platforms. As one can expect, then, demos permeate the event, so it can be hard to figure out which ones might be the best to choose from.

While the official Steam Next Fest is over, the game demos are still available for users to test out until the end of June. Whether a hyped indie game or a lesser-known gem, fans of all styles and genres have an opportunity to play some great games and help establish a developer in the harsh video game industry. Popular demos can indicate a well-designed and highly enjoyable game, but can also simply be an indicator of marketing power. In the end, players should find the games that appeal to them and formulate opinions on their own.

That said, here are 20 game demos available for June through Steam Next Fest that gamers should absolutely check out.

  1. Hell is Us
  2. Bloodthief
  3. Possessor(s)
  4. Fresh Tracks
  5. Ratatan
  6. Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound
  7. Ironhive
  8. Mina the Hollower
  9. No, I’m Not a Human
  10. MIO: Memories in Orbit

Final Thoughts

Truthfully, there are so many more games that could be highlighted here as well. Still, these 20 caught my eye for their creativity, nostalgia, strong gameplay, artistic direction, or sometimes, all the above and more. Still, I encourage you to check out all the amazing titles that Steam Next Fest has to offer. With hundreds of possibilities to explore, it can be daunting, but focusing on games from developers you like, are in a genre you like, or stand out when you scroll the pages can help whittle down the options. Or, you can simply just follow our list or one of the plethora out there. Either way, enjoy some incredible gaming gems!
