The April 2023 Game Releases start with a solid set of games to come out of an already busy first quarter. While not heavy hitting as in February and March, the lineup is still no slouch.

My pick on my watchlist for the April 2023 Game Releases is the much-awaited sequel to the fantastic Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Let’s see how much Cal and BD-One have fared since we last left them off!

Also out this month is the expansion to Horizon: Forbidden West, Burning Shores. Let’s check out what Aloy’s been up to since her last outing!

Let’s check out the whole lineup!
