Borderlands 3 launched for both PC and consoles back in September of 2019, with the PC version being exclusive to the Epic Games Store. Six months have past since then, however, and the exclusivity period is now over. So if you're not a fan of the Epic Games Store, or if you simply want the entire series in one place, then you'll be glad to hear Borderlands 3 has now also made its way to Steam.
Given how important co-op is to the Borderlands 3 experience, it's well worth mentioning that there is cross-play between the PC versions. In other words, it doesn't matter if you're playing on the Epic Games Store or the newly launched Steam version, you'll be able to blast away bandits and madmen with exactly the same fellow players.

After spending a fair bit of time on the Windows Store, State of Decay 2 has now made its way to Steam as well. It has not done so empty-handed, however, as this move was also accompanied by the rather hefty (and free) Juggernaut Edition update.
There's a brand new open-world map to explore, improved visuals and lighting, better audio and twice the amount of music tracks, as well as a new assortment of heavy melee weapons to crush zombie heads with. You can also expect to see the usual assortment of bug fixes and quality of life changes, as well improvements to the early-game experience.

World of Warcraft devs are making it easier to collect Azerite Essences on alt characters

[Update]: Blizzard has now made it significantly easier to acquire Rank 3 Essences, and it's thankfully not even all that grindy.
While Blizzard has slowly but surely made leveling in Battle for Azeroth a faster and more pleasant affair, getting your alternate characters ready for the end-game is still needlessly tedious. You not only have to go through the usual process of collecting gear and Azerite Power, but you also have to unlock and level Azerite Essences all over again, some of which require you to invest a considerable amount of time into PvP or nearly obsolete content.
Thankfully, it seems that Blizzard will soon be addressing this problem and making alts a lot more attractive to veteran players. Basically, once you've unlocked a Rank 3 Essence on one character, you'll be able to also unlock it for your other characters by completing everything from Horrific Visions to Mythic Keystone Dungeons and PvP matches.
