You need to have either Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass to access it. If you only have the basic Core or Standard version of Game Pass, you won’t be able to play this game through the service.

Can You Play South of Midnight Early?
If you can’t wait until April 8 to play South of Midnight, there is a way to get early access. Players who buy the Premium Edition of the game can start playing five days earlier, on April 3, 2025. The Premium Edition costs $49.99 and comes with extras like:

If you’re using Xbox Game Pass, early access is not included in any plan. You’ll need to wait for the official launch date unless you decide to buy the Premium Edition.
