The regular Steam Game Festival events have been renamed to Steam Next Fest.

In a post on the PC platform's website, Valve revealed that it was tweaking the branding of its regular showcase to "more directly communicate" what it is meant to be doing. Steam Game Festival debuted at the end of 2019 alongside Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards, with people able to play demos for a handful of upcoming releases.

The show has grown in scope since, with the Steam Game Festival that took place in March 2020 featuring over 40 demos for projects that were set to be shown at the cancelled GDC. The upcoming Steam Next Fest - set to take place between June 16th and 22nd - will boast "hundreds" of demos for new games.

"We've renamed the Steam Game Festival to more directly communicate its focus: Announcing Steam Next Fest, a multi-day celebration of upcoming games," Valve wrote.

"Explore and play hundreds of game demos, watch developer livestreams, and chat with the teams about their games in progress, coming soon to Steam."
