With thousands of playable demos launching on Steam every year, and millions of players trying them out (often as part of Steam Next Fest), we've noticed some trends in feedback from both developers and players about the process and functionality. We've put together an update based on that feedback. As a reminder, you can always find great demos to play on the Steam demo hub.

My sentiments exactly. I don’t do many demos, but seeing games on my wishlist that have them, that’s going to be good for the devs and my own curiosity. Win:win:win:sad wallet

I wish more games had demos. In the era of 70€ triple-A games, you can’t even get out of the tutorial in 2 hours

That is actually intentional. They do it to restrict refunds on Steam and consoles.
