A collaboration between indie publisher Digital Bandidos and The MIX, the new Indie Fan Fest showcase is set to showcase a number of upcoming Steam Next Fest games.
The Indie Fan Fest has been designed to spotlight unreleased indie games launching demos in the October 2025 Steam Next Fest. This, in turn, is set to help standout games drive maximum wishlist growth, reach new fans, and build buzz with press, creators, and players.
All those that tune in will be able to check out exclusive trailers, developer insights, never-before-seen gameplay, and wishlist-focused calls-to-action.
On that note, one can submit their entry for the Indie Fan Fest via this form before August 1.
Do note that all entries must abide by the following rules:
Your game must feature a new demo launching during Steam Next Fest in October 2025
Your game must not have been part of a previous Steam Next Fest
Both indie developers and publishers are welcome to apply
Final video content is not required at the time of submission — selected teams will be contacted with next steps in July/August
Steve Escalante, CEO of Digital Bandidos, said the following:
“Indie Fan Fest is about giving developers a crucial moment in the spotlight before one of Steam’s most important promotional windows.
With a Steam event page and curated showcase, we’re helping teams drive wishlists, awareness, and momentum when it matters most.”
Justin Woodward, Co-Founder of The MIX, added:
“We’re excited to team up with Digital Bandidos on a focused event that complements Next Fest and amplifies deserving indie games.”Â
