DreamHack Beyond

DreamHack Beyond has been going strong online as a hybrid festival and online multiplayer game since it began on Saturday, July 24, bringing a wide assortment of video game tournaments with varying prize pots. And true to the spirit of the event, the fun doesn’t stop at just watching other people play. DreamHack Beyond partnered with Steam to provide and highlight more than 160 game demos, more than 50 release games on sale, 232 coming-soon titles, and 184 games available to play / try for free. However, DreamHack Beyond concludes tomorrow, July 31, so now is the time to pounce on all these demos and sales.
