Steam Next Fest is here and there's a wealth of PC game demos you can try during it. Here are 6 standouts that have already caught our eye.

A new demo for psychological survival horror game Holstin is now available for PC via Steam, develeoper Sonka announced.

I've been privately lamenting the lack of PC game demos lately. There was a time when demos were commonplace: a chunk of a brand new game you could try out for free before you bought the full game.

There are over 13,000 free demos available on Steam right now—thousands more than just the festival accounts for. We're in a bona fide golden era of game demos.

But what if the world's most disastrous software demo was faked, foisted on a set of unsuspecting computer science students as a piece of performance art?

Regardless of the type of product you’re pitching, these keys to phenomenally effective demos are universal.

A good demo shows potential users your product’s capabilities and how it’s useful to them in a more tangible way than marketing copy alone.
