Xbox exclusive South of Midnight comes to PS5 and Switch 2 next year

Since their decision to begin releasing Xbox console exclusives onto Sony’s PlayStation platform, Microsoft has ported over a wide range of its first-party releases at a surprisingly rapid cadence. Just days on from the PS5 launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2025, Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight has now been announced to be coming to both PlayStation and the Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring of next year.

South of Midnight is the first project from studio Compulsion Games since they were acquired by Microsoft back in 2018. Released earlier this year for Xbox and PC, the title was praised for its music, storytelling and art design, but was unfortunately hampered by repetitive gameplay and combat in particular.

That said, South of Midnight did resonate with many, and so as part of Microsoft’s continued push towards 3rd-party publishing, the company has now announced that the title is coming to both the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 some time in “Spring 2026.”

South of Midnight Xbox

No further details have been shared, however given the fact that the game originally launched in April earlier this year, it would not be surprising to see its multi-platform release be tied into South of Midnight’s 1st anniversary.

As with many of the other Xbox games ported to PlayStation, hopefully this new release comes with some included enhancements/improvements.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
