  While you might struggle to get in due to ongoing server issues, Overwatch 2 is out now free to play and it can run quite nicely on Steam Deck and Linux desktop.

• Humble have a nice list of classics in the RPG Legends bundle

  Need some classic RPGs in your life? Check out the RPG Legends: Baldur's Gate & Beyond bundle with some great picks.
