The Xbox Summer Game Fest demo event returns next week

Over 40 playable Xbox One and Series X/S demos will be available to play

Xbox and Summer Game Fest have announced that the game demo event from last summer is returning.

Starting from June 15 and lasting until June 21, players will be able to download more than 40 demos of upcoming Xbox One and Xbox Series X games.

Like last year, the demos featured are not considered “normal” game demos, and are to be considered more like show room demos.

As such, some of them are very early versions of games that don’t necessarily represent the final versions.

The full list of game demos will be confirmed next week, but Xbox provided details on five demos in particular:

Sable
Embark on a unique and unforgettable journey and guide Sable through her Gliding; a rite of passage that will take her across vast deserts and mesmerizing landscapes, capped by the remains of spaceships and ancient wonders.

It’s 1986 – Meredith Weiss takes a break from her career in the big city to deliver mail in her hometown. How will she experience two weeks in beautiful Providence Oaks, with its iconic lake and quirky community? And what will she do next? It’s up to you.

The Riftbreaker
The Riftbreaker is a base-building, survival game with Action-RPG elements. You are an elite scientist/commando inside an advanced Mecha-Suit capable of dimensional rift travel. Hack & slash countless enemies. Build up your base, collect samples and research new inventions to survive.
