Xbox Demo Fest is happening later this month
Xbox have announced that from July 22 until July 28, they will be offering up 60 games for people to sample as part of their Demo Event, and while Xbox are claiming this is the first time they have done this, they did it in the early days of the Xbox 360 as well.
As revealed by Glenn Gregory, Sr. a Product Marketing Manager for Xbox via the Xbox Wire, there will be a lot revealed.
While we can’t recreate the experience of attending a big show entirely, we can help you get your hands on lots of cool new games early. As announced by Geoff Keighley as part of Summer Games Fest, Xbox is proud to reveal that our Summer Games Fest Demo Event will be live on Xbox One from July 21 to July 27.
We’ll have more than 60 brand-new game demos for upcoming, unreleased Xbox games available to check out for free! Look for the special Game Fest Demo tile on the Xbox One Dashboard that week to find the collection of available demos.
They may end up with closer to 100 demos, so there should be something to enjoy, but a very important piece of information is that these are not closed demos, most of these will be like the ones you would play if you were to attend a trade show.
Here are just some of the games announced to have demos, as part of this celebration:
Cris Tales: A gorgeous, indie love letter to classic JRPGs with a new perspective. Peer into the past, act in the present, and watch as your choices dynamically change the future — all on one screen as you play!
