South of Midnight is one of Microsoft’s big hopes in 2025. The fantastical action game blends magical powers and exploration in its gothic setting, and Xbox users are keen to know if they can travel South of Midnight for an Xbox Game Pass launch.
You get a great deal whichever tier of Xbox Game Pass you opt for. The allure of free games is too good to pass up—especially when new releases go straight into the library. South of Midnight finally releases April 8 and (on paper) looks like one of Xbox’s most fascinating-looking exclusives in years.
After various trailers and gameplay footage have hyped up South of Midnight, it’s time for it to deliver. But let’s see if Compulsion Games delivers it straight to Xbox Game Pass.
Can You Play South of Midnight on Xbox Game Pass?
South of Midnight is a day one launch for Xbox Game Pass subscribers on PC and Xbox Series X|S.
The action-adventure title follows in the footsteps of 2025’s Avowed by launching on Xbox Game Pass from day one. From the first reveal trailer to the latest pre-release videos and build-up, Xbox has proudly proclaimed South of Midnight as a Game Pass incentive.
A Game Pass logo is slapped on almost anything to do with South of Midnight. In case you need any more confirmation, its official Xbox store page says this: “Play day one with Game Pass. Available 8 April 2025.”
So, if you don’t already, I’d consider signing up to save yourself a lot of money!
