Pinball Hype Index Updates: April 2023

The Pinball Hype Index has gone through its monthly update cycle! We have now reviewed 42,778 (+962) pieces of content. There are a total of 1,651 (+13) unique pinball IPs tracked in our system (we only include the top 200 or so in our public index).

Not a ton of movement in this month's index following the massive new game release month. Folks seem to have quieted down on the pinball theme speculation front as they digest the new titles.
