Half Grip Demo Set For Steam Next Fest In October
The demo puts the game's single-hand control scheme in front of Steam Next Fest players, which is the format's main test of whether a control gimmick plays as well as it reads.

Half Games will release a demo of Half Grip, its roguelike combat racing game, during Steam Next Fest: October 2026 Edition, which starts on October 20. Every control runs one-handed: steering, shooting, reloading. Players earn prize money for upgrades and weapons including pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, magnets and mines. The full game is planned for Steam on PC.
Half Games will release the demo during Steam Next Fest: October 2026 Edition, which begins on October 20. Half Grip is a roguelike combat racing game where every action carries risk, and all controls are performed with one hand. Races mix arcade handling with realistic road conditions, so tire grip shifts with your machine's upgrades and can send you off course.
Prize money buys weapons and upgrades: ramming bumpers, shotguns, magnets, mines, pistols and submachine guns. The roguelike format means each run plays differently, and players can build toward a drift machine, an armed storm chaser, or a speedster tuned for aerodynamics. The game is planned for Steam on PC.
