Xbox Summer Game Fest: Around 60 Game Demos Will Be Available In July

2020 has not been kind to the tech and gaming industry where we saw lots of events like E3 being canceled. These were the events where you had the opportunity to try out new games and get to play them before they were released. But don’t worry because the Xbox Summer Game Fest is here to turn your frown upside down.

In a recent announcement on the Xbox website, the company revealed

“As announced by Geoff Keighley as part of Summer Games Fest, Xbox is proud to reveal that our Summer Games Fest Demo Event will be live on Xbox One from July 21 to July 27. We’ll have more than 60 brand-new game demos for upcoming, unreleased Xbox games available to check out for free!”

Yes, you read that right. You get to try out 60 games before any of them are officially launched. And an entire week to try them out.

Things to keep in mind about the Xbox Summer Game Fest

Before you get too excited about it, here a few things Xbox would like you to keep in mind:

“These are not normal “game demos.” Typically, the demos you see in our Demo channel are created after the game is completed (or nearly completed) and represent the final version. Many of these demos are early, and some are for games that won’t be out for quite some time. We’ve never done this before; 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.”

“These demos will only be up on the Xbox Dashboard for a week. Some might be re-published to the Demo channel later, but many will simply evaporate at the end of the week, so make sure to check them out while you can.”

This is a never seen before scenario that Xbox is presenting to you. You may only be able to play demos of around 60 games but Xbox says “we’ll have a lot of games – somewhere between 75 and 100 when the dust settles”

Crazy, right? They also revealed a shortlist of games that you can expect to try out at the Fest. Take a look:

• Cris Tales
• Destroy All Humans!
• Haven
• Hellpoint
• Skatebird
• The Vale: Shadow of the Crown
• Raji: An Ancient Epic
• Welcome to Elk

You can read more about these games on the official announcement page by Xbox. We are extremely excited to see what the other games have in store for us.
