Here are the new Xbox games launching this week, from March 31 through April 6: South of Midnight early access begins

Ready to play more? Several new Xbox games are launching this week, including early access for South of Midnight via the Premium Edition.

South of Midnight is Compulsion Games' new third-person adventure. This game is set in a fantastical version of the American Deep South, where creatures like Huggin' Molly and Two-Toed Tom are real.

While the standard edition of the game is launching on April 8, the Premium Edition is available this week. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can also play early by just grabbing the Premium Upgrade.
