New games aren't regularly added to Xbox Game Pass Core, with Microsoft stating that it intends to add new titles two or three times a year. On April 23, Xbox Game Pass Core subscribers can look forward to Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, and Wreckfest being added the to library of available games.

Analysis: A decent end to the month
Harold Halibut (which is available today!) is still the highlight of the month's additions for me, and I'm looking forward to checking it out shortly. Outside of that, Manor Lords is next most-interesting game added to the service this month for me. It seems impossibly ambitious, and the sense of permanence the lone developer is going for is something you just don't see in most strategy games.
Is there anything you're particularly excited to play from this round of additions to Xbox Game Pass?
