What should you play? What\u2019s worth a roll of the dice that hopefully won\u2019t end with buyer\u2019s remorse? Those are questions that Steam Next Fest answers several times a year, and the June Edition of this festival of demos has kicked off. Admittedly, it\u2019s impossible to cover <em>every <\/em>game demo taking part this week, as the June edition of Next Fest has over 4,000 to sample. We\u2019re also not listing any demos that we previously covered in the February 2026 edition of Next Fest, but if you\u2019re curious, you can read up on what you missed through this link.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you\u2019re worried about choice paralysis, fret not, because we\u2019ve gathered some of our top picks below. Next Fest caters to every taste, from wholesome games to survival-horror, and once it wraps up on June 22, you can look forward to a few more Steam events throughout 2026. If you\u2019re also saving your cash for some new games, the Steam Summer Sale will kick off on June 25 and run through July 9.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-duskfade\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Duskfade<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Duskfade - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | The Triple-i Initiative\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OipFbsYpSHg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duskfade made a big impact with it when it was first announced, as it looks like the spiritual successor to Jak and Daxter that we\u2019ve been waiting years for. Featuring a vibrant art direction, the game puts you in the boots of Zirian, a young workshop apprentice on a quest to save his clockpunk world.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-burn-9\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Burn-9<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Burn-9 Reveal Trailer - Story Rich Showcase 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8lA-yEeqXW4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you in the mood for a nail-biting story? Then you might want to grab a download of Burn-9, a spy-thriller where you play not as a soldier behind enemy lines, but as a handler who has to keep the mission on the rails. As the Operator, you\u2019ll have to deal with the pressure of figuring out what happened to a top-secret Antarctic research facility, commanding an elite strike force of cybernetically-enhanced black-ops super soldiers, and dealing with the top brass who demand results.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-restory-chill-electronic-repair\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">ReStory: Chill Electronic Repair<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs - Official Demo Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hw5yZeYZJsE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve ever fancied ditching the grind\u2013for a night\u2013and embarking on a new career as an electronics repair wizard, then ReStory: Chill Electronic Repair might be just the game you\u2019ve been looking for. Set in mid-2000s Tokyo, you\u2019ve got your own humble store, Y2K-era devices (including officially licensed Atari consoles), and all the tools you need to keep your customers happy.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-mistfall-hunters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistfall Hunters<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mistfall Hunter - Release Date Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sUq5gbiGFSE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extraction shooters have become a big hit over the years, but what about an extraction ARPG? Mistfall Hunters answers that question, as you\u2019ll need to scavenge, fight, and successfully cheese it\u2013but with swords and sorcery! Set in a bleak world that blends dark fantasy aesthetics with intense action, this third-person PvPvE game will launch on July 30.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-embers-of-the-uncrowned\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embers of the Uncrowned<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Embers of the Uncrowned\u3163Spectral Blade Class Gameplay\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rAMYX66vpJ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sticking with the darkest of fantasy, Embers of the Uncrowned looks like it\u2019s taking a few pages out of the Diablo ARPG book, but because I\u2019m a shallow individual, it\u2019s the jaw-droppingly gorgeous graphics that make me want to play it. Nexon\u2019s new game looks like a visual powerhouse, and the crunchy combat also makes the game feel as good as it looks.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-wind-runners\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wind Runners<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wind Runners - Official Early Access Date Trailer | PC Gaming Show 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vp1nZ4C0Mxo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s not enough hand sweat on your controller, but fortunately, Wind Runners is here to rectify that problem. A high-speed bullet-hell dogfighting roguelite, each run sees you step into an aircraft and take on the\u00a0ruthless technotheist Realm. It\u2019s a spiritual successor to those coin-munching shoot-\u2019em-up arcade games of yesteryear, and it features deep gameplay systems to master.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-dust-front\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dust Front<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dust Front RTS - Official Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J7jTMuHVDu4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing beats leading an army to victory\u2013from the safety of your gaming chair\u2013and Dust Front is all about real-time strategy with a classic flair to its design. Set on a war-ravaged planet, one of the neat twists of the game is that missions are combined with procedural map generation and external rules to keep things dynamic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2610770\/Dust_Front_RTS<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-bombanana\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bombanana<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BOMBANANA! | Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_pKrTO6SOoo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting a fresh co-op twist on an old adage, Bombanana takes a team of three players to defuse bombs. Each player takes on the role of a specialist monkey, but the twist here is that communication is limited. See no bomb, hear no bomb, speak no bomb! That adds an extra layer of challenge, but if your teamwork is up to scratch, you won\u2019t have to worry about scraping simian stains off the wall.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-slayblade\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">SlayBlade<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Slayblade - Official Reveal Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TZwRI_coGaE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially a BeyBlade video game in all but name, SlayBlade keeps things simple. You\u2019re thrown into the deep end of competitive spinning top battles, and it\u2019s the core gameplay behind powering up rotational spins and annihilating the competition that makes SlayBlade so much fun to play.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-mortal-shell-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mortal Shell 2<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mortal Shell II - Gameplay Reveal | PS5 Games\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yI9Zp5NWAbg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might not have been perfect, but the first Mortal Shell was a pretty decent souls-like when it was first released. Can its standalone sequel improve on it? The jury is still out on that one, but this demo for the game should give you a good idea idea of what to expect as Cold Symmetry is promising a game with deeper weapon design, extensive upgrade options, and unrestricted freedom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2584270\/Mortal_Shell_II<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-onimusha-way-of-the-sword\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Onimusha: Way Of The Sword Hands-On Preview with New Boss Gameplay\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-IzXMyFfPTw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Capcom\u2019s next big game of 2026, Onimusha: Way of the Sword got a demo during Summer Games Week. It\u2019s still worth checking out for its hack-and-slash action, plus it\u2019s not limited to PC.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-valor-mortis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Valor Mortis<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Valor Mortis: This First-Person Soulslike Has Great Potential | Hands-On Impressions\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PvpxF8upFQM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While you\u2019re going to have to wait a little longer to play the full version of this first-person souls-like from the studio behind the Ghostrunner games, you can get an idea of what Valor Mortis is about with this demo. As a former soldier of Napoleon\u2019s army, you\u2019re flung into a European battlefield full of monsters, creatures that\u2019ll test your reflexes, weapon skills, and newly acquired magical powers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-toem-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toem 2<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TOEM 2 - Platforms Trailer - Coming this Summer!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ttHxdcIOo00?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original Toem is one of our favorite games thanks to its combination of spotting hidden objects, clever use of photography mechanics, and a beautifully designed monochrome world. The sequel looks like it\u2019ll be expanding on those ideas ahead of its release in Q3 2026, and this demo will give you a taste of documenting the world\u2019s little wonders.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-lost-in-art\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lost in Art<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lost in Art announcement trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kk0TBs0eyVY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we think about it, an art gallery is the perfect venue for a horror game. While Lost in Art doesn\u2019t go full survival-horror, the game does use its location to craft puzzles that require creative thinking, hide sinister threats in the shadows, and wrap the entire experience in an eye-catching art direction.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-outrange-strike\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outrange Strike<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Outrange Strike \u2013 Steam Next Fest Demo Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rqLh1SQXZSI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the next Ace Combat is a few months away, you can still take to the skies\u2013and for free\u2013in this demo for Outrange Strike. An ambitious blend of arcade action and flight-simulator elements, it\u2019s all about building specialized aircraft and then using them to keep the skies safe.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-penguin-colony\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Penguin Colony<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PENGUIN COLONY - Coming 2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pccy5N_tqOk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I absolutely abhor penguins for the vile, disgusting creatures that they are, which is probably why I\u2019m hoping things end terribly for the malevolent mammal you play as in this faithful re-imagining of H.P. Lovecraft\u2019s At the Mountains of Madness. Developed by Umurangi Generation studio Origame Digital, the game follows the events of the cosmic-horror story, but through the eyes of a penguin.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-sinking-city-2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Sinking City 2<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Sinking City 2 - Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2q-pfSpS_J4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of Lovecraftian vibes, don\u2019t forget to check out The Sinking City 2 demo either! Frogwares is dialing up the survival-horror aspects of the sequel, and this demo will show you how the studio is focusing on deliberate dread, devious puzzles, and resource-lean gameplay.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-hack-95\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hack 95<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hack &amp;apos;95 Reveal Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yx0GivgdZlk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all know how modern operating systems kind of suck nowadays, which is why a game like Hack 95 might catch your eye. Inspired by a golden era of operating systems, Hack 95 is a card-based computer-hacking experience where you\u2019re tasked with taking down evil organizations. Also, an incontinent virtual pug is there to help you.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-old-flesh-of-nuraga\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Old Flesh of Nuraga<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Old Flesh OF Nuraga - Demo Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1q3iWNdLhao?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dipping back into the pool of thrills and chills, The Old Flesh of Nuraga is a first-person psychological-horror game with an eye-catching art direction. Set in the sands of a creepy desert, players will search the area for strange treasures and keep an eye on their digital grandfather as he descends into madness\u2013which sadly, isn\u2019t the \u201980s British ska band.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-pulsebreaker\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pulsebreaker<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pulsebreaker - Official Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hZjzd_IWDys?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We really are living in a golden age for horror games, aren\u2019t we?
