The next Steam Game Festival will include 500 playable demos

The Steam Game Festival has been running for a while now, kicking off a couple of years ago and most recently filling the void where the Game Developers Conference would have been.
Now Valve has announced that the next Steam Games Festival is set to start 3 February:
The next Steam Game Festival is coming up, with hundreds of brand-new demos for fans to Play What's Next for free from Feb 3-9!

During the festival, there's the promise of access to over 500 free game demos as well as the chance to watch livestreams from indie developers and the chance to chat to those devs about the games they're working on. Valve says these demos will include everything from action games to visual novels, strategy game, platformers and everything in between.
This is quite an increase from the previous festival where just 40 games were available to play.
There's also a trailer to give you a taste of what's to come:
Valve is certainly helping to alleviate some of the lockdown misery with the Steam Game Festivals and we're pleased to see these continuing on.
