Steam Next Fest: October 2026
A week-long Steam showcase where players can try upcoming games through demos, developer livestreams, and event pages.
What to expect
Steam Next Fest: October 2026 runs from 10:00 AM PDT (17:00 UTC, 20:00 Riyadh) on Monday, 19 October through 10:00 AM PDT (17:00 UTC, 20:00 Riyadh) on Monday, 26 October. Players can try publicly playable demos, chat with developers, watch optional developer livestreams, and explore upcoming games on Steam.\n\nSteam states that there is no single official Next Fest livestream. Developer broadcasts are optional and appear in the event livestream tab, so GameDropRadar does not embed a channel or invent a video URL. The event is open to eligible upcoming games and its official documentation says participating titles must be released after the festival ends.
