So when The Game Awards start, while you spend some time watching what games bring home the trophies (and spend more time watching commercials), why not spend the rest of your time playing some free new and upcoming video games.
And for this year’s Game Awards the show is letting the viewers at home get a taste of upcoming releases with some exciting limited-time free demos in The Game Festival.
In theory, The Game Awards are about celebrating the best video games of the year, video games that have already come out and that you can play right now.
The Game Awards start this Thursday night, and earlier that day (1 P.M. Eastern time) Steam users can enjoy a bunch of free Game Festival PC demos for 48 hours.
