It's that time of year, folks – Steam Next Fest 2025 has drawn to a close, with countless new games having made their way onto excited players' radars and wishlists following hands-on demos, from well-known titles to smaller indie entries.
As the Steam Next Fest wraps up this fall, Valve is celebrating with a handy roundup of the 50 most-played demos this time around. Some of them, – like PowerWash Simulator 2 – aren't as surprising to see, but others certainly stand as unearthed gems, and that's what the event is all about. Topping the list of upcoming PC games on Steam is brutal medieval combat sim Half Sword, one we found to be a "massive early breakout" at GamesRadar+.
