Xbox is currently promoting a discounted premium edition upgrade for South of Midnight, which offers early access along with various bonus features for Game Pass subscribers. However, there’s a slight limitation: this promotional price is exclusively available for users subscribed to either Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, which are priced at $20 and $12 per month, respectively.

Subscribers holding Core and Standard Game Pass accounts will need to pay the full price to access the premium edition or consider upgrading their membership. This special offer applies solely to the Xbox and Windows versions of South of Midnight. Players wishing to purchase the game on Steam will also need to pay full price, as the discount does not extend to that platform.

With the current promotion, you can secure the premium upgrade for South of Midnight for just $10, down from its regular price of $49.99. This premium edition includes the following benefits:

• Early access starting April 3, 2025
• A digital artbook
• A digital soundtrack for South of Midnight
• The Boo-Hag Comic by Louisiana artist Rob Guillory
• Music video for Songs & Tales of South of Midnight
• Documentary titled Weaving Hazel’s Journey

The standard edition of South of Midnight is set to release on April 8, 2025, and will be available at no cost to subscribers of Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass at that time.

Xbox frequently offers similar premium upgrades for their first-party titles, including Avowed. Additionally, Xbox has introduced a $1 PC Game Pass trial, which lasts for 14 days after the first payment. This allows you to enjoy the standard version of South of Midnight for free or upgrade to the premium edition for just $10 during the trial period.

South of Midnight marks Compulsion Games’ return after their acclaimed narrative adventure, We Happy Few, released in 2018 and is their inaugural title under Microsoft’s ownership. This adventure game is influenced by folklore and centers on Hazel, a young woman from Louisiana, as she seeks to mend the rifts between the visible and invisible worlds in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
