Here’s Every Xbox Game Releasing Between April 7 and April 13

There’s a slew of fresh Xbox games hitting the shelves this week, and topping the list is undeniably Compulsion Games’ "South of Midnight."

The Premium Edition of this intriguing title has been available since April 3, but now it’s time for the Standard Edition to shine, coming out on April 8. As part of Xbox’s first-party lineup, it will be available right away on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

I recently penned a review of "South of Midnight" where I noted how much I appreciated the storyline about a young Weaver’s quest to save her mother. I expressed my hope that Hazel’s tale will continue to unfold, sharing that the game is a heartfelt homage to Southern Gothic and the South. It’s a journey that could leave players with a deeper appreciation of its themes.
