For FPS lovers like myself, it's a great time this week to be a PC gamer. That's because the Steam FPS Fest, an event that looks to promote great shooters with free demos and discounts, is taking place.

From exceptional AAA experiences to interesting new boomer shooters, and onto FPS hybrid experiences that introduce roguelike, RPG or immersive SIM elements, there are loads of incredible FPS games playable right now.

And, what's even better is that, if you play the free demo of a game and really like it, then you can pick up the full game during the Steam FPS Fest with a sizeable discount. Here are 10 free playable FPS demos I think it's worth checking out right now.

There are plenty more demos to experience in the 2024 Steam FPS Fest. So if you like the look of some of these games then I'd advise heading on over to Steam sometime this week (the Steam FPS Fest runs until April 22), and scoping out what's on offer.
