Summary
Thousands of new demos are now live in Valve’s latest Steam Next Fest, giving players a broad new slate of indie games to sample during the event.
Several highlighted demos center on upcoming releases, including Screenbound ahead of its September 10 launch and Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?! before its full release at the end of July.
New releases tied to the roundup include The Last Salvage Squad at $10 and Copa City at $40, with the latter criticized as rough and rushed despite developers saying they are addressing player concerns.
Behavior Interactive also used the week’s indie news cycle to outline Dead by Daylight additions, bringing Art the Clown later this year after Jason Voorhees and planning visual upgrades, dynamic weather and a 1v1 mode for 2027.
