Valve brings back Steam Game Festival in June to fill the E3 gap

Valve Software is once again planning to use its massive Steam platform to help developers and publishers show off their games. The company announced The Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition today. This event is returning June 9, which is the original start date for E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo). But E3 organizers cancelled this year’s gathering in the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic. But Valve is keeping its digital showcase for upcoming game releases.

The Steam Game Festival will run June 9 through June 14. The event will give players a chance to get a closer look at games coming up over the next year or so. Valve says that players can try out the games and then add them to their wishlist.
