Original Story: Talk about a busy day for Xbox Game Pass! We already highlighted earlier today that the service was removing eight titles over the next 24 hours, and now, the Xbox Game Pass team has put out a new blogpost detailing some of the additions and removals coming before the end of April.
For now, we only know about the games coming to console, with five new additions and ten games set to leave the service later this month. First, let's start with the newcomers, which are all ID@Xbox titles:
The Long Dark (April 16)
There are no zombies — only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster. A thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster.
Gato Roboto (April 21)
Make a valiant effort to save your stranded captain and his crashed spaceship! Inside of your cozy armored mech, set off on a dangerous trek through an alien underworld full of irritable creatures and treacherous obstacles.
Deliver Us The Moon (April 23)
Will you save mankind or be forgotten in the dark abyss of Space? Deliver Us The Moon is a Sci-Fi thriller set in an apocalyptic near-future, where Earth’s natural resources are depleted. A lunar colony providing a vital supply of energy has gone silent and a lone astronaut is sent to the moon on a critical mission to save humanity from extinction.
HyperDot (April 30)
Quickly evade enemies and test your skills in over 100 hand-crafted trials during campaign mode, outlast your friends in multiplayer battles, or build complex challenges with the custom level editor in this minimalist action arcade masterpiece with one rule: dodge everything.
Levelhead (April 30)
Create incredible contraptions and machines, craft adventurous expeditions that require brain and brawn to complete, or just create a relaxing music experience. Build, play, share and compete using the platformer maker. With the deep, intuitive systems of the level editor, you can create the levels of your dreams and other players’ nightmares. Supports up to four players for couch co-op mayhem!
Additionally, the following games will be removed from Xbox Game Pass for console on April 30th. All of these titles will also be available for up to 20% off for the next couple of weeks:

Deliver Us The Moon looks cool! Sad about a couple of the games leaving though.
Makes me sad to see games leave the service, but I guess that's what we sign up for.
EDIT: I swear I didn't copy your comment, Fraser haha!
Luckily I just picked up Wolfenstein The New Order for £1.00 when purchased together with Wolfenstein The Old Blood in the Spring sale so no rush to play it....
I will however have a few more goes on Metal Slug 3 before it leaves the service....
More boring stuff. And were is the final fantasy games?
Oh no! I better hurry and finish the New Order! Glad I have Fallout 4 on disk... I figured it was going to leave soon since the other fallout games left recently. They seem to do that...
Except for Doom 2016, Bethesda’s games seem to be leaving Game Pass these days. Interesting.
@KelticDevil Hmmm, yes that unfortunately seems to be the case. My worry is long term is that game company's remove games in order to set-up their own service like EA Access on Xbox... I really don't want subscriptions to multiple game company's.... I would likely then just end up buying games individually when on sale instead.
