The Game Festival will begin on Thursday at 1 p.m. Moving Out (SMG Studio/Devm Games/Team17).Here’s a preview of the games that will have free demos during the event: This first version of The Game Festival will include over a dozen games demos on Steam. The Game Festival is designed from the ground-up as an event without barriers, extending the benefits of a physical event to the global gaming community that watches The Game Awards.”

“Let’s face it: Not everyone can attend a physical trade show or consumer event. “Now feels like the right time to take the next step with The Game Festival, a completely digital approach to the consumer event space,” Keighley said.

The demos will only be available for 48 hours, but giving fans a way to actually try these games for themselves is an interesting move for the awards show.Īccording to Keighley, the idea behind the Festival is to mimic the experience of a gaming trade show or consumer event, like E3, digitally. The Festival is designed to work hand-in-hand with the Game Awards to give players the chance to try out some new games being discussed on the show with Steam acting as the digital event space. Geoff Keighley, the founder and host of The Game Awards, announced a new project on Wednesday morning called The Game Festival.
