With E3 canceled thanks to Covid-19, we haven’t had the smorgasbord of game announcements that we usually get. However, Microsoft's Xbox Summer Game Fest is set to right that wrong by giving players more than 70 game demos to download of upcoming titles.
You can find the full list of demos below, and there’s a few big hitters that are worthy of your precious hard drive space such as the remake of Destroy All Humans and Haven, which is coming to PS5.
One game that definitely deserves your attention, though, is SkateBird. It’s a game about trying your best, and a skateboarding bird. If that isn’t enough to sell you on the game, check out the announcement trailer below – Tony Hawk’s days are numbered.
Once you've had your fill of SkateBird, you can check out all the other demos in the Xbox Summer Game Fest. Here's the list in full:

That's a lot of games
It's important to note that all of these games will continue to evolve and be polished closer to release. These demos are more akin to show floor demos in a way, so you may encounter the odd bug or early design decision which won't make it into the final product. It's just like being at E3, then, but with no queues, suspect smells or horribly calibrated TVs.
