Published on By Grab ID@Xbox’s Xbox Winter Game Fest Demo Event’s early gift of game previews before they’re cruelly snatched away four days before Christmas. Whether or not Geoff Keighley Presents Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards™ (Presented By Geoff Keighley) is quite the evening you have in mind for yourself tonight, it has served us up the prospect of an associated ID@Xbox Xbox’s Winter Game Fest (and some specific Steam demos, if previous years are anything to go by) with a heaping of game previews so generous that it inevitably feels like something of a second job to get through them all. The Xbox Winter Game Fest, somewhat cruelly, lasts from December 7th – 21st before the majority will evaporate. These demos won’t get you through the Christmas holiday (or seemingly-inevitable lockdown), we’re sorry to say. As ID@Xbox says on its blog post, these are not normal “game demos”, given they’re generally much earlier in the development process and thus less representative of the usual final version-parity you see in the demo oeuvre. But that’s no bad thing. Call me an enthusiast, but I’ve probably expended hundreds of hours exploring free game morsels over the years from such events.
