If you're a fan of action-focused roguelikes with plenty of ridiculous combos to experiment with, you might be glad to hear that Enter the Gungeon is now entirely free to grab. Simply head on over to the Epic Games Store, log into your account, and you'll be able to claim your copy in no time.
The one catch, as always, is that the promotion will only last for two weeks. As such, make sure to grab your copy before Enter the Gungeon goes away on June 20th. You don't even need to install it, just add it to your account and you're good to go.
Shenmue 3 is now an Epic Games Store exclusive and the Kickstarter backers are not pleased

Back in 2015, long before the Epic Games Store was even a thing, Shenmue 3 was Kickstarted with the promise that backers would either receive a PlayStation 4 copy or a PC key. While a Steam key was not mentioned during the campaign itself, a follow-up email (including one that arrived relatively recently) explicitly stated that the PC version will be coming via Steam. As it turns out, that is now no longer true as Shenmue 3 has officially become an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC.
"Development for Shenmue III has been moving forward using Unreal Engine and the support we have received from Epic has been excellent," reads the official update. "But most importantly, in looking for the most enjoyable experience on PC, it was decided together with Deep Silver after much discussion that the Epic Games Store would be the best distribution platform option."
Apex Legends update has corrected some of the more annoying bugs, including the randomized Armor position

[Update]: Respawn has now released an updated list of bugs and gameplay problems they're currently working on fixing.
Apex Legends' most recent major update has brought in a variety of challenges, new cosmetics to collect, the rather exciting Elite Queue, as well as a variety of balance changes and quality of life improvements. However, as is tradition, the update has also brought with it quite a few new problems.
Respawn is thankfully well aware of these issues and have already posted an official list of bugs they're currently working on squashing. Better yet, rather than simply talk about it, they have now also released the first of the bug-fixing updates in order to sort out some of the more problematic ones!
Overwatch has now added replay support for the Overwatch League pro matches

[Update]: The replay system has now arrived to the live servers alongside a whole bunch of other changes and bug fixes.
A little while ago Overwatch has introduced the very first version of the replay system. However, while the replays themselves work perfectly fine and are actually quite educational, the whole system was a little bit limited given that you could only watch your own replays.
Thankfully, this is no longer the case! After the most recent update, the replay system has now been extended to the current season of the Overwatch League. So if you ever wanted to see what exactly your favorite pro does at every moment of a match, or even how the battles as a whole play out from a different angle, you now have a chance to do just that!
Spyro Reignited Trilogy will be coming to PC and Switch this September 3rd

While this announcement shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given the recent leak, I am still happy to say that the Spyro Reignited Trilogy has been officially announced for PC! You can expect to see it arrive this September 3rd alongside the freshly revealed Nintendo Switch version.
Whether there will be any sort of PC-exclusive features or options, nobody currently knows. However, given that the Spyro Reignited Trilogy has only just released on consoles, I doubt we're going to see any sort of massive improvements. On the positive side, the games themselves already seem to be highly polished and without too many issues, so a straight port should still be pretty darn good.
World of Warcraft: Classic beta is getting the infamous Alterac Valley battleground tomorrow

[Update]: Warsong Gulch and Alterac Valley battlegrounds have now made their way to World of Warcraft: Classic!
Out of all the battlegrounds in the current and original World of Warcraft, none are as infamous as Alterac Valley. It was the only battleground where you could spend an entire day smashing through enemy ranks, go to sleep, and then come back next day to a battlefield that has remained pretty much exactly the same!
If you would like to give this piece of World of Warcraft history a try for yourself, you might be glad to hear that Alterac Valley will be coming to the World of Warcraft: Classic beta tomorrow, on June 14th. It will only remain active until June 17th, however, so if you're curious do make sure to jump in as soon as possible.
Vermintide 2 devs have announced they're finally adding the much-requested 4v4 Versus mode

[Update #2]: Many years after being canceled, Vermintide 2's PvP Versus mode is coming back.
[Update]: Vermintide 2's upcoming Winds of Magic expansion is already playable for those that have pre-ordered!
Out of all the potential features for Vermintide 2, the one I've seen the most excitement for has definitely been the Versus mode. So much so that there was even a community mod in the works that intended to make it the whole thing a reality!
However, while the mod unfortunately ended up getting canceled early on due to technical reasons, I am delighted to say that the PvP dream is not dead as Fatshark has now announced an official version - a fully-fledged 4v4 Versus mode! Here's a small teaser of what it looks like in-game:
