List of Xbox Game Releases: April 7-13

Excitement is brewing in the Xbox community as a slew of new games hit the shelves this week. Topping the list is South of Midnight by Compulsion Games, a release that’s generating quite a buzz.

South of Midnight’s Premium Edition was already available since April 3, but players opting for the Standard Edition can dive into the adventure starting April 8. As an Xbox exclusive, it’s conveniently joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on day one.

In case it slipped past you, I penned a review for South of Midnight, expressing my enthusiasm: "I’ve been captivated by this tale of a young Weaver determined to rescue her mother. I sincerely wish Hazel, our protagonist, gets more time in the spotlight. This game is a heartfelt tribute to Southern Gothic themes and culture, leaving players with a rich, reflective experience."
