This May 11th Bethesda will be shutting down their Bethesda.net Launcher and mostly switching to Steam as their PC platform of choice. So if you have any games on your Bethesda.net account, make sure to transfer them (and their save files) as soon as you can.
As a part of this process, Bethesda has also just re-released five of their classic games onto Steam. Best of all, three of them are entirely free to grab! So if you ever wanted to experience a piece of The Elder Scrolls history, you'll be happy to hear that The Elder Scrolls Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall are among the chosen freebies, along with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
Deep Rock Galactic's chunky Season 2 update has added new weapons, enemies and fancy beards

[Update]: Deep Rock Galactic's Season 3 - Plaguefall update has added fancy new grenades, enemy variants and mission objectives.
I hope you're in the mood for frenzied robots, frantic screaming and fancy beards, because Deep Rock Galactic's chunky Season 2 update has now arrived. The star attraction this time around is a new event that will task you with hacking a competitor's communications hub, an act that will draw in quite a few murder-bots for you to ruthlessly swat out of the sky!
There's also a brand new mini-boss that is just dying to give you a hug, as well as four new secondary weapons to toy around with. Scout gets a new crossbow, the engineer a heavy 'shard diffractor', the gunner a high-powered pistol, and the driller a submachine gun that looks more like a death-ray than anything else!
MTG Arena's gangster themed Streets of New Capenna has arrived with a new Pioneer-like format

[Update #2]: MTG Arena's next big Standard set, Dominaria United, will be launching on September 1st, 2022.
[Update]: MTG Arena is getting the Commander focused Battle for Baldur's Gate set on July 7th.
Even though it feels like Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty has landed only a couple weeks ago, MTG Arena has just unleashed a brand new set! The freshly launched Streets of New Capenna brings with it a variety of cards themed after organized crime, gangsters and the five triple-color families running it all, as well as a brand new format for everyone to enjoy!
The new Explorer format is essentially a smaller version of Pioneer that will be gradually built up over the months and years until all of the semi-competitive cards have been ported over. So if you're in the mood for a true-to-tabletop eternal format, give Explorer a try as it promises to be a good bit of fun.
After a year in Early Access, tug-of-war strategy game Warpips has now been unleashed

Seemingly inspired by flash games of old, Warpips is a freshly released strategy game that's all about unleashing waves upon waves of disposable troops and machinery upon your opponents in order to overwhelm them. It's essentially a high-stakes game of tug-of-war, with a variety of upgrades and randomized elements thrown in to help spice everything up.
What all of this madness looks like in actual gameplay, that you can check out through the launch trailer below. Have a gander:
Bethesda has opened up the ability to transfer your Bethesda.net Launcher games over to Steam

[Update]: As a little bonus, Bethesda has also added four classic The Elder Scrolls games onto Steam, two of which are free!
Starting on May 11th, Bethesda will be sunsetting their Bethesda.net Launcher and focusing primarily on Steam as their PC platform of choice. In order to make this process as painless as possible, they have now opened up the ability to transfer everything from your Bethesda.net account over to Steam.
This migration includes your game library and wallet, meaning you will not lose anything of value in the transfer. Similarly, most of your save files will be automatically migrated, though a couple games will need you to go through the process manually. And if you have any games where you have to use your Bethesda.net login to play, worry not as all of that will continue working as it always has.
The freshly released Peglin is a charming hybrid between Peggle and a rogue-like adventure

To put it quite bluntly, Peglin is what happens when you take Peggle's orb-chucking gameplay and mix in some random encounters and progression elements to help spice everything up. The end result, as I've detailed in my preview, is a surprisingly interesting and addictive little rogue-like, even if the Early Access version is somewhat limited in terms of content.
You can get a pretty good idea of what all of this looks like in action, as well as how the gameplay even works, through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a gander:
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous' second expansion has arrived with a much humbler story

[Update #2]: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous third expansion, The Treasure of The Midnight Isles, is a standalone roguelike adventure.
[Update]: Owlcat Games have announced they're working on a Warhammer 40k turn-based CRPG - Rogue Trader!
Only a short bit of time has gone by since Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous' very first expansion Inevitable Excess arrived, and already Owlcat Games have unleashed a brand new one. However, instead of pushing the power level to ridiculous degrees and having you deal with cosmic threats or the gods themselves, the freshly launched Through the Ashes DLC is far more humble in scope.
It follows a group of completely ordinary characters attempting to survive in the demon infested city of Kenabres. In order to do so you'll have to contend with rapidly dwindling resources, enemies that are vastly stronger than your motley crew, as well as an assortment of difficult decisions, all in an effort to save as many people as possible.
