Indie Fan Fest – A Showcase Designed to Drive Wishlists
Building wishlist momentum on Steam can be hard, even for great games. Steam Next Fest is a huge opportunity, but standing out among a sea of demos is a serious challenge. The most successful games go into Next Fest with wishlist traction already in place, not just hoping to gain it during the event. That’s why The MIX and Digital Bandidos have teamed up to create Indie Fan Fest — a curated digital showcase built specifically to help developers build visibility, drive wishlists, and generate excitement ahead of the Steam Next Fest October 2025 edition.
About the Event
Indie Fan Fest is a digital showcase dedicated exclusively to unreleased indie games, that will feature playable demos during the October 2025 Steam Next Fest. Our showcase will stream on YouTube and Twitch and will be supported by a curated Steam event page helping your game reach fans, creators, and press at the exact moment it matters most: just before Next Fest begins.
