Steam Next Fest October 2027
Oct 11 – Oct 18, 2027 · Starts in 350 days.
What Steam Next Fest means for your launch
Next Fest is Steam's week-long celebration of upcoming games. Players try demos, follow the games they like and wishlist them, and developers stream and talk to new fans all week. To take part you sign up in Steamworks before the deadline; your game needs a public coming-soon page and a playable demo, and each game can take part in one Next Fest.
For your release date, Next Fest cuts both ways. It is one of the best weeks of the year to win attention before launch, and one of the most crowded weeks to launch into. Many developers time their Next Fest a few months before release, so the wishlists they win have time to grow.
