After a series of extremely good updates, with a special mention going towards the recent Artifacts-themed one, Risk of Rain 2 is now slowly getting ready for its full release. In other words, Risk of Rain 2 will be launching from Steam Early Access this August alongside the major Update 1.0!
The exact details behind the launch update are still shrouded in mystery, but you can expect to see a brand new survivor to mess around with, as well as the final stage and boss. There will also be new items and equipment to utilize, and the usual assortment of balance changes and quality of life improvements.

If you're itching for a completely insane open-world experience, you might be glad to hear that a remastered version of the already excellent Saints Row: The Third has now been unleashed onto PC and consoles. It brings with it greatly improved character models and visual effects, a brand new lighting engine to help everything stand out, as well as all 30 DLC items to mess around with.
You can get a pretty good idea of what all of this madness looks like in-game through the recently posted launch trailer. Have a peek, it's quite an explosive one:
Valve's Artifact 2.0 remake is heading into Closed Beta next week

[Update]: The Artifact 2.0 beta has now begun, though only for a small number of players so far.
The original version of Artifact was flawed in pretty much every way, from the in-game economy being extremely exploitative to the balance being heavily reliant on random chance. After seeing that no mere patch could fix things, Valve quickly set out to work on redesigning Artifact from the ground up.
Quite a long time has past since then, but I'm very happy to say that we'll soon be able to see the results of all their effort. According to the newest blog post, Artifact 2.0 will be launching into Closed Beta next week!

Out of pretty much nowhere, Sea of Thieves recently got its very own Steam page and a brief announcement stating that it'll be coming soon. Well, as it turns out, "soon" really does mean soon in this case as the Steam version of Sea of Thieves has just been pinned for a June 3rd release date!
In order to give everyone an idea of what Sea of Thieves has to offer, as well as how much it has improved over time, the developers have also released a brand new trailer. Have a gander, it's a fairly short and action-packed one:

If you're a fan of Greenskins in Total War: Warhammer 2, today should be a pretty darn good day. Not only have they received a bunch of new units and mechanics through The Warden & The Paunch DLC, but the accompanying free update has also reworked them into a downright terrifying force.
First things first, the paid "The Warden & The Paunch DLC" has brought in two Legendary Lords - Grom the Paunch for the Greenskins, and his eternally grumpy rival Eltharion the Grim for the High Elves. There's also a whole assortment of new units for both factions, two highly unique campaigns that play noticeably differently from the rest of their race, as well as some rather interesting new start positions for both characters.
You can snatch Civilization VI for free through the Epic Games Store

[Update]: Epic is now giving away Borderlands: The Handsome Collection which contains Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and all of the DLC released for both games!
The Epic Games Store is currently running a massive sale, and they are doing everything they can in order to get as many eyes on it as possible. Not that I'm complaining, however, as just recently they have given out GTA 5 for free, and now they are doing the same with Civilization VI!
So if you're up for many sleepless nights, endlessly chasing that "one more turn" high, you should head on over to the Epic Games Store and grab yourself a copy of Civilization VI. This promotion will last until May 28th, so while you have plenty of time to do it, I would recommend simply getting a copy now while it's still fresh on your mind.
