Xbox's Early Access DLC Returns For South Of Midnight, But It's A Lot Cheaper This Time Around

We're exactly two weeks out from Microsoft's South of Midnight hitting Xbox Game Pass on April 8th, but folks who are keen to play this one ASAP can grab the game early - at a pretty decent price compared to recent releases.

Yep, just like Xbox's biggest games of the last few years, South of Midnight has an early access DLC pack; which would pair up well with an Xbox Game Pass subscription for access to the main game. The South of Midnight 'Premium Upgrade Edition' will set you back £9 / $9 - and it grants players five days early access, alongside some other digital goodies. Keep in mind that the base version is not part of this DLC, hence why it's targeted at Game Pass members.

Here's everything included in the DLC pack:

  • 5 Days Early Access
  • South of Midnight Artbook
  • Original Soundtrack composed by Olivier Deriviere
  • The Boo-Hag Comic book by Rob Guillory
  • Music Video: Songs & Tales of South of Midnight
  • Documentary: Weaving Hazel’s Journey, Director’s Cut

While there's no major story add-on included in these extras, this DLC still seems like a pretty good deal to us, especially when you factor in that generous early access window. For comparison, February's Avowed release also had an early access DLC pack coming in at £17.99 / $22.49 - and that didn't contain a major story DLC either.

Anyway, we're by no means advocating this recent trend of paid early access DLC, but if it's reasonably priced when you factor everything else in, we can't complain too much. South of Midnight's standard edition hits Xbox Game Pass on April 8th - or April 3rd when paired up with this Premium Upgrade DLC.
