More than 35 “show floor”-style game demos will be playable from December 7–21
Not to pile more games on your already full plate, but you might want to set aside some time in December for a bunch of limited-time demos. Starting Tuesday, December 7, theID@Xbox Winter Game Fest eventwill offer up 35+ demos for upcoming Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S games. you’re able to also expect to see some limited-time PC demos, too.
For instance,Nobody Saves the World, the next title fromGuacameleestudio Drinkbox, will get a demo onXboxandSteam. It’s the one I’m most interested in personally, and the demo will even have online co-op with access to “the opening hours of the game,” which sounds great. It’s an action-RPG withwild-looking formsand mix-and-match abilities.
The full ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest demo list isn’t out yet (we’ll update this article once it is), but here’s a preview of several featured games courtesy of the event organizers:
[Update: The Xbox team has shared the complete list of Winter Game Fest demos.]
“Many of these demos are early, and some are for games that won’t be out for quite some time,”according to Xbox’s Jessica Ronnell, the ID@Xbox event and community management lead. “Think of these as akin to “show floor demos,” and not necessarily indicative of the final product. What that means is that you’ll get to experience these games early — some way early — which is awesome, but you should also note that these games will continue to evolve and be polished as they near release.”
Again, these demos are time-limited — they’ll “evaporate after December 21” — so this is our chance in a lot of cases. That said, some might return at a later date.
