Available Platforms for South of Midnight
South of Midnight will be accessible on PC through Steam and the Microsoft Store, as well as on Xbox Series S and X. It will also be included in the Xbox Game Pass initiative for both console and PC users. Notably, as it is published by Xbox Game Studios, the game will not be available for PlayStation 5 upon its initial release.
However, there is speculation that the game may eventually make its way to the PS5 and PS5 Pro later in the year, following the trend of other Xbox-exclusive titles that have transitioned to PlayStation platforms, such as the recent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle from MachineGames.

The standard edition of South of Midnight, priced at $40, does not come with any pre-order incentives. The early access opportunity was reserved specifically for those who opted for the premium edition. Players who purchase the standard edition can expect no additional cosmetic items or digital bonuses.

The reception for South of Midnight has been largely positive among players and critics, indicating that Compulsion Games may have produced a title that resonates well with audiences, diverging from the mixed responses to their earlier projects.
