South of Midnight platforms
South of Midnight is coming to PC via Steam and MS Store, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. It is also releasing on Xbox Game Pass for PC and console subscribers. Since this is published by Xbox Game Studios, South of Midnight is not coming to PS5 at launch.
However, we wouldn’t be surprised if this makes its way to PS5 and PS5 Pro later this year, like several other Xbox exclusive titles, including the recent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from MachineGames.
Does South of Midnight have a pre-order bonus?
No, the standard edition for South of Midnight, which costs $40, has no pre-order bonus. It was only the premium edition that allowed players to gain early access. You won’t get any cosmetic items or digital goodies with the regular edition.
You can still purchase the Premium Edition for $50 and get the following additional content:
- South of Midnight Artbook
- Original Soundtrack composed by Olivier Deriviere
- The Boo-Hag Comic book by Rob Guillory
- Music Video: Songs & Tales of South of Midnight
- Documentary: Weaving Hazel’s Journey, Director’s Cut
South of Midnight has been met with a positive reception from players and critics alike, and it seems Compulsion Games finally has a hit on their hands that isn’t as divisive as their previous releases.
