Compulsion Games is ready to bring the world South of Midnight. Its release date comes several years after its announcement, and the developer is preparing everyone for its debut by showcasing start times for its normal and Early Access launches.
If We Happy Few is anything to go by, then we already know South of Midnight is a can’t-miss adventure. Xbox shares Compulsion Games’ affinity for the weird and wonderful, and this is the first project under the Xbox banner. South of Midnight looks like a mature and realized vision, and its release date can’t come soon enough for some.
If you’re after the earliest possible start time, you’ve come to the right place.
South of Midnight Release Date

April 8 is the confirmed South of Midnight release date, and it’s one of the month’s biggest games.
South of Midnight—at the time of writing—hasn’t been subjected to a delay. It’s had little-to-no controversy and got a lot of hype ahead of its launch. It’s available to Xbox Series X|S and PC users, so let’s see if being available on these platforms helps its sales.
Also, South of Midnight being on Xbox Game Pass is sure to go in its favor.
South of Midnight Start Times
Expect South of Midnight to launch and get underway at 9 AM PDT / 11 AM CDT / 12 PM EDT / 5 PM BST.
Again, this is for the official launch date. South of Midnight’s release has several editions to consider, so depending on which one you opt for, there’s a chance you’re entitled to Early Access—giving you an earlier start time.
South of Midnight Early Access Start Times
The Premium and Premium Upgrade Editions come with five days of South of Midnight Early Access.
