If you're still curious about DayZ, or if you simply want to see how things have evolved since the early days of the mod, you might be glad to hear that it's going to be free to try out for the next couple of days. To be more specific, from 10am PST on May 21st until 10am PST on May 25th DayZ will be entirely free to check out on Steam.
As for what exactly you're getting yourself into, that you'll find out through last year's "This is DayZ" trailer. It's a little bit outdated at this point, but it should still clue you in quite nicely. Have a look:
After four years in Steam Early Access, Golf With Your Friends has now finally been released

- in Indie Games
After spending a genuinely surprising amount of time in Early Access, a whopping four years, Golf With Your Friends has now finally been released in full for PC and consoles. As you might imagine from the name alone, Golf With Your Friends brings with it multiplayer mini golf madness for up to 12 players, 12 highly themed and expansive courses to mess around with, as well as plenty of mutators and customization options to bring even more chaos into the whole thing.
You can get a pretty good impression of what all of this looks like in gameplay terms through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short one:
Overwatch Anniversary 2020 update has brought in a ton of new and old event skins

[Update]: The newest experimental patch has brought in some juicy Genji buffs as well as strange Moira changes.
If there's any sort of cosmetic item you missed during the previous Overwatch events, the newly launched Anniversary 2020 update offers the perfect chance to correct that mistake. To put it simply, it has not only brought with it every single skin, voice line and animation from all of the previous events, but it has also added some rather awesome new legendary skins and dance emotes!
You can get a little sneak peek at what these new skins look like, as well as how stylish Echo's dance moves are, through the recently posted trailer. Have a gander:
Total War: Warhammer 2 devs have detailed today's Greenskins rework and free update

[Update]: The Warden & The Paunch DLC has now arrived, and unsurprisingly, it's yet another pretty good one.
Later today, Total War: Warhammer 2's The Warden & The Paunch DLC will bring with it a morbidly obese Goblin and the eternally grumpy High Elf version of Batman. However, as exciting as that might sound, it is the accompanying free update that is likely going to have the biggest impact.
This would be because the update contains the long-requested rework of the Greenskins faction. Instead of having them be the punching bags of the entire world, it will finally make the Greenskins a nearly endless tide of ravenous anger and poor hygiene, just as they should be in the lore. More importantly, it will also reduce the power of the dreaded Order alliance by making it so the Dwarfs actually have a strong competitor vying for supremacy over the mountains.
Maneater is an upcoming open-world RPG starring a rapidly evolving shark

If you're in the mood for an RPG that's a little bit out of the ordinary, you might want to keep an eye on the upcoming Maneater. It's essentially a story-focused action RPG where you start off as a young shark pup, and eventually end up as a ridiculously over-the-top megashark that can annihilate boats with the mere flick of its fin.
As for what exactly this looks like in gameplay terms, that you'll find out through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a gander, it's certainly a unique one:
Mortal Kombat 11's first major expansion Aftermath is coming this May 26th

[Update]: The Aftermath expansion has now arrived, and apparently it's quite good!
This May 26th Mortal Kombat 11 will be getting its very first major expansion - Aftermath. It'll bring with it a brand new storyline centered around the Fire God Liu Kang, the new keeper of time and protector of Earthrealm, and will once again pit the various characters against each other in a series of brutal and over-the-top duels. Aftermath will also add three new fighters to toy around with (Sheeva, Fujin and the guest star Robocop), as well as three new skin packs that will be released over time.
You can get a pretty good idea of what the new characters have to offer, as well as get a glimpse at the new storyline, through two of the most recent trailers. Have a gander, they're about as ridiculous as you would expect:
World of Warcraft is making it easier to get Corrupted Gear and upgrade your Legendary Cloak
- By Ash

As a part of the recent Vision of N'Zoth update, Blizzard added a major new source of player power - corrupted items. Unfortunately, while the idea behind corrupted items is an excellent one, their actual implementation leaves a lot to be desired. Not only is there a massive power difference between the various corruption effects, but there is basically no way to target the ones you want, meaning you can rise or fall through the ranks purely on luck alone.
This will soon be a thing of the past, however, as Blizzard is looking to make it significantly easier to get the corruptions you want. So instead of having to rely on pure dumb luck, MOTHER will soon start selling specific corruption effects for large quantities of Echoes of Ny’alotha. The items she sells will change twice a week, mirroring the new Assault missions, and will cycle through all of the corruption effects and their various levels of potency.
