The Game Awards teams up with devs to offer 13 demos via Steam

All the offered demos are, of course, for yet to be released games so The Game Festival is definitely off to a good start. Note that they'll be removed from Steam after the 48-hour period, so you better pick your favourites and pick 'em fast. 

The full list is as follows:

• System Shock (Nightdive Studios)
• Eastward (Pixpil/Chucklefish)
• Spiritfarer (Thunder Lotus)
• Moving Out (SMG Studio/Devm Games/Team17)
• Röki (Polygon Treehouse/United Label)
• Chicory (Greg Lobanov)
• Wooden Nickel (Brain&Brain)
• Haven (The Game Bakers)
• Heavenly Bodies (2pt Interactive)
• Acid Knife (Powerhoof)
• The Drifter (Powerhoof)
• CARRION (Phobia/Devolver)
• SkateBIRD (Glass Bottom Games)

So, whether you're anxious to once again dive into System Shock, goof around with avian skateboarding or evolve your clingy alien in Carrion - The Game Awards will make it happen, and then some.

"Now feels like the right time to take the next step with The Game Festival, a completely digital approach to the consumer event space. Let’s face it: Not everyone can attend a physical trade show or consumer event. The Game Festival is designed from the ground-up as an event without barriers, extending the benefits of a physical event to the global gaming community that watches The Game Awards", Keighley said.

The Game Awards will also host the trailer for Sucker Punch Productions' katana-wielding PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima, whose trailer teaser was shown on yesterday's State of Play stream. Keighley himself that this is their "longest premiere in the show, a true cinematic journey (don't worry with gameplay too!)".
