Geoff Keighley, promoter of The Game Awards, has revealed that there will be dozens of demos that we can play for free without leaving home during the coronavirus.
Geoff Keighley, producer and presenter of The Game Awards, has announced a new Steam Game Festival, the Spring Edition. After the first edition was held last December during the TGA 2019, which had 14 game news, this time the spring edition will offer more than 40 announcements of new games and titles that are to come with free demos free to play. Everything was planned for the GDC.
Don't leave home: dozens of demos of new games and titles still to be published
The event, now digital, will be held from this Wednesday, March 18 at 6:00 p.m. (CEST) until next March 23 at 6:00 p.m. (CEST); It will not be a streaming with a wave of ads, but it will be an apparently gradual selection so as not to tread on each other. All playable demos, which will be available through Steam, will also be temporary.

All these announcements should have been shown in the suspended GDC, which due to fear of the coronavirus the organization decided not to hold. Although it is not held in person, it will be done electronically.
With more than 40 video games, the Spring Edition will summarize an even larger selection of games (than in the first edition) from studios that have missed the opportunity to show them off at Indie Megabooth, Day of the Devs and The MIX during the GDC in this year, ”says Keighley in her message posted on Twitter. It is intuited, however, that the vast majority of video games presented at this Steam Game Festival will be independent.
Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition
It is possible to access all the information that is revealed about this Steam Game Festival: Spring Edition through this link, where all the demos will also be shown for download.
The news of the video game leaves us hopelessly on the new generation of consoles. On the one hand, a Microsoft that has revealed all the final technical specifications of the Xbox Series X, including its new controller; on the other, a Sony that will show this Wednesday from 17:00 the PS5 architecture by Mark Cerny.
