Next Fest picks, October 2026
These are editor's picks from Steam Next Fest, October 2026. A person played each demo before it went on this list.
Picks are not certificates. A pick means we liked what we played. It does not mean the game has been checked against the standard, and nobody can pay to be picked.
The founder of Quorum, a small game studio, runs notslop. Quorum's games are never picked.

We are still playing demos. Picks appear here as we finish them, and each one says what AI did.
Making a demo for this Next Fest? You can get it checked, and certified games go in our catalog. A pick is our own taste, so it is separate from the check.
