Prepare for the arrival of three fresh games into the Xbox Game PassCore collection on April 23. Last year, Xbox revamped its longstanding Xbox Live Gold membership into Xbox Game Pass Core, granting Gold members access to a library of 25 games for download at no extra charge, with a commitment to expanding the library regularly.

Game Pass Core boasts an impressive lineup of predominantly Xbox first-party games. Popular titles like Gears 5, Halo 5: Guardians, State of Decay 2, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and Forza Horizon 4 dominate the list, along with notable Bethesda games such as Fallout 4, Dishonored 2, and Doom Eternal. The catalog also includes highly acclaimed indie games like Firewatch, Dead Cells, Inside, Celeste, among others. Recently, Chivalry and Totally Reliable Delivery Service were added to the Core lineup in December.

In an exciting Game Pass update showcasing games arriving across all service tiers by the end of April, Xbox announced three upcoming additions to Game Pass Core on April 23. The sequel to the popular indie time-manipulating FPS, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, will join forces with the cooperative mining action game Deep Rock Galactic and the chaotic car-crashing extravaganza, Wreckfest.

Superhot: Mind Control Delete was released in 2020, offering more of the time-bending first-person action that its predecessor was known for. Both games are a must-play for FPS enthusiasts. Wreckfest stands out for its encouragement of players to wreck their cars in brutal racing modes, catering to fans of destructive driving. Meanwhile, Deep Rock Galactic is renowned for its challenging Achievement list, which can take players up to 400 hours to conquer.

While Game Pass Core predominantly features smaller titles, with major AAA games reserved for the console, PC, and Ultimate tiers, the possibility of larger third-party games entering the lineup remains intriguing for Core members in the future.

With new game additions every few months, Core subscribers can eagerly anticipate the next wave of games, possibly arriving in the summer. As April's Game Pass lineup unfolds, with additions like Ocs Must Die 3 and EA Sports NHL 24 across cloud, console, and PC tiers, subscribers should stay tuned for what's coming next month, led by Ninja Theory's Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.
