Ever since PlayStation VR was first announced many were clamoring for it to come to PC as well, and judging by a recent statement from a PlayStation executive, that might just be happening in the near future.
Masayasu Ito, Sony Computer Entertainment's Senior Vice President, recently did a short interview with Nikkei where he talked about the future of PlayStation VR, and its possible arrival to PC. Here's the quote, translated from Japanese to English via Google and spruced up a bit to remove any nonsensical phrases:

Its amazing how the Internet works sometimes. All these big publications and magazines got their hands on Overwatch and its developers, yet its a single Youtuber by the name of Th3Jez that has managed to gleam the most interesting bits of information about Overwatch's future.
In a 20 minute interview with Jeff Kaplan, Overwatch's Director, they cowered topics ranging from PC/console balance, to PVE modes, Weekly Brawl support, competitive matchmaking, and most importantly, where the beard had disappeared to? Here's the 20 minute long interview and a short summary of the important topics:

Street Fighter V's big March update has been advertised for a few weeks now, and after what seems like an eternity March 28th has finally rolled over, and so should the first portion of the update as well.
Today's patch is bringing with it the Challenge Mode, online rematch, Battle Lounge improvements and numerous balance changes. The second phase of this update will come on March 30th and will contain Alex and his character story content, two free skins, and an in-game shop where you can spend your hard earned fight money. Here are the patch notes for March 28th:

Starting up a new MOBA can be a fairly daunting task, especially in the case of Paragon which is currently in beta, and as such suffers from a poor tutorial and lack of in-game explanations.
But never fear as I've made a short guide that will get you up to speed on all the mechanics and key elements of Paragon, with a focus on improving the strategy behind your plays rather than simply showing facts down your throat.

The original Killing Floor is one of my favorite co-op games as it simply has everything: tons of guns, satisfying combat, classes with pros and cons that rely on others, and plenty of ways to dick over your friends without actively ruining anyone's game (praise be to the welding tool).
Killing Floor 2, however, has had a bit of a rocky start in Early Access, but if this upcoming patch is any judge, things are soon going to change as versus multiplayer, variable difficulty, item crafting, and more are being added to significantly bolster the available content. Here are the patch notes, though bear in mind they might change by the time the update finally releases as its currently in testing:

Despite Heroes of Newerth ending up as a bit of a train wreck I have great respect for S2Games, and especially their RTS/FPS hybrid Savage 2 that was years ahead of its time.
Which is why I'm happy to announce that S2Games are working on a brand new installment of the Savage series. Here's all of the currently known information about Savage 3, and a trailer for Savage 2 so you can get an idea of what its all about:

At this point I'm fairly certain that even people who don't play or care about DayZ know full well how it has some terrifying performance issues when visiting large inhabited areas.
These problems might soon become a thing of the past, however, as the recent Dev Log showcased absolutely massive FPS gains due to the switch from DirectX 9 to DirectX 11 with Enfusion Rendering. Have a look, though be warned, the constant clip-clopping might just drive you insane:

Its unfortunate that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition released in such a buggy and unfinished state as its population practically evaporated overnight, but I'm glad the developers are still working hard on ironing out all of the remaining kinks.
The upcoming Update 3 brings with it support for ultra-wide resolutions, fixes for mouse sensitivity issues, slightly increased performance, and a couple of bug fixes. Besides the update itself, the developers are also currently working on a couple of other features I will list out below, but first let's start with the patch notes:

The most recent Overwatch beta patch brought with it a new map, match highlights, achievements, and most interestingly, weekly brawls modeled after those found in Hearthstone.
Blizzard only mentioned a couple of examples in their announcement, those being "play only as support heroes" and "everyone must play as Soldier 76", but the crafty dataminers over at Overpwn have managed to find all of the 14 currently available brawl permutations. Here's what they are:

Back when I first tried out Ark: Survival Evolved it seemed to be just this generic blend between dinosaurs, crafting, and modern military weapons. However, somewhere along the way the developers figured out that realism is a terrible thing to burden oneself with, so they started adding mega-kangaroos, evil beavers, yetis, and eventually even dragons!
Now that Easter is right around the corner the developers are, obviously, adding dino-bunnies as a part of their, you guessed it, Eggcellent Adventure update. Despite the silly name and theme, the update also brings the much anticipated Swamp and Snow Cave areas which are heavily geared towards High Level Survivors and those looking to delve further in to the lore. Here's the trailer:
