An award-winning action game previously only available on Xbox is now making its way to the PlayStation 5, and is available soon.
What award-winning Xbox game is out this month on PS5?
South of Midnight, the 2025 action-adventure game from Compulsion Games, is set to release on PlayStation 5 on March 31, 2026. The game follows the story of Hazel, a woman who learns she has an ancient weaving power. The game heavily incorporates various Deep South mythos, and sees Hazel battling against “Haints.”
The game was originally released on Xbox Series X|S and PC, and was praised for its unique art style. South of Midnight emulates a stop-motion animation style for its cutscenes, something that earned it both praise and awards when it was originally released.
At The Game Awards 2025, South of Midnight took home the award for Games for Impact. The game also won the award for Outstanding Achievement in Animation at the 29th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards, and also won an Annie Award for Best Character Animation in a Video Game.
South of Midnight is just one of several Xbox games that has been making its way to the PlayStation 5 over the past couple of months. The game joins other formerly Xbox exclusive titles like Pentiment, Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Halo, and more as all making the jump across the console barrier.
