If you want to save yourself some time and hop straight into the Southern Gothic world of South of Midnight, here’s how to preload the game ahead of its April release.

South of Midnight, an upcoming action-adventure game, is shaping up to become one of the most interesting new releases. Set in a fictional version of the American Deep South, it puts you in the shoes of Hazel, a woman who learns an ancient weaving power, using it for combat, traversing the environment, and solving them puzzles. One of the game’s standout features is its stop-motion emulating visual style.

How to preload South of Midnight on PC and Xbox

  • In order to do so, you need to have an active Game Pass subscription.
  • Then, all you have to do is search for the game in the upcoming titles category and just click on the download button.
  • Size-wise, the Xbox Series X/S version needs 42.50 GB of free space, while the PC version needs 61 GB.
  • Naturally, once the download is finished, you still have to wait until April 8, 2025 to play the game.

Is there a way to access South of Midnight sooner than that?

Yes, there is. If April 8, 2025 is too long of a wait for you, you can grab the Premium Edition, which will give you advance access on April 3, 2025.
