Schedule for Two More Steam Next Fests; Changes to Event Formula

We've learned the dates of the next two Steam Next Fests - events organized by Valve where you can check out hundreds of demos of upcoming games. We are also to expect a significant change associated with them.

Steam Next Fest, an event organized by Valve in which players can test hundreds of demos of unreleased game, apparently enjoys great interest. The company has already announced its next two editions. The first of them will take place in June, and the second in October, which are the same months as last year.

Considering that the latest Steam Next Fest took place in February - which is about twelve months after the winter Steam Game Festival, of which it is a continuation - we can assume that Valve intends to organize the event periodically, just in these three dates.

Its next edition will begin on June 13, 2022. It will last a week and will end on June 20. Details of the October event are not yet known.

It is worth noting that Valve intends to slightly change the formula of Steam Next Fest. From the next edition a given game will be able to participate in it only once. So if you've tested a demo of some game in February, do not expect that in June you will be able to play it again. Unless that title is released in the meantime.
