On steam, yes.
South of Midnight is one of the weakest Game Pass release on Steam ever with only 1500 players

American southern folklore is interesting, the gameplay and story are pisspoor, the main character is unintereting, this is supposed to be a game, I'm not donating for a charity about black families here.So I guess a black families and southern folklore are nothing in your world.

Nobody is saying if it's a success or not only that the steam CCU is lackluster and yes even compared to other gamepass games like atomfall or Stalker 2.
And that alone is not a measure of success

If the goal is to make products with limited appeal that doesn't drive software sales or Game Pass growth, they are well within their rights to do that.

Whether the gameplay appeals to you doesn't matter to me. What matters is the overwhelming support that this game is made for noone.

It appeals to not much anyone else, apparently.

And you know how much profit and its impact on GP on the 2nd day of release how
?The goal is bring variety to the consumer and clearly that doesn't exist in your vanilla view of the world.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle vs South of Midnight. Gameplay quality. Avowed vs South of Midnight. Gameplay quality. Atomfall vs South of Midnight. Gameplay quality.
Anybody argue that South of Midnight isn't far shitter in gameplay than any of these?
South of Midnight
77 metacritic
terrible gameplay
SBI/Woke
Unpopular in general
Without gamepass this game could not exist. From each game according to their abilities, to each game according to their needs. I just think games should stand on their own and let survival of the fittest take effect. When we fund shitty games like this by paying for gamepass, we get more shitty games. If no gamepass existed, everyone would vote with their wallet and this game would be the most monumental failure of all time. Now it can live off of money paid for other games.

Tell me why was a Life is strange spinoff.
This is ...completely unknown and the only reason I even knew about it was one of MS video events. Sure it has a nice visual style but that alone won't get ppl playing if they never heard of it

Most gamers want gameplay. SO and South of Midnight got a lot more gameplay than something like Tell Me Why. Those kinda games are really niche.

Shakez you must be stupid. My main gripe was with him saying it appeals to noone. But since your too dumb to focus on the main topic well move to yours. Your basing the success of the title on steamdb on the 2nd day of release you need to cope with the fact you dont understand how this industry works.

And it factually does not appeal to people, you're just mad about it, this is what, the third time I'm telling you this? Get over yourself "industry expert".

It was SHAKEZ that said it appealed to noone. Or are you too "stupid" to remember?

It's not because your character is black that I don't like her. It's because she's fucking hideous. I like playing games as attractive characters, and those stupid piercing, and everything else about her face are just so unappealing. Give me another black lady to play as like Sheva:
Sexy as hell, and that accent...

Whaaaat!?? The absolutely massive black female gamer audience didn't show up for a game targeted to them? I find that VERY hard to believe!

It certainly isn't. I suspect is not doing well though. I think a good indicator for Xbox games is their most played lists as far as Game Pass traction.

Shakez your an idiot. It's a 77 generally favorable on Metacritc. So again factually your loser ass is wrong. The only one acting like an industry expert is you claiming this game appeals to noone. How stupid could you and the other baby grummz be

My bad your right I typed it out and press send. Luckily for your poor argument it didn't go thru lol.

Thanks! Now lets consider the budget of each game here and marketing that each received.
- COD is COD. So nothing to say here. Obviously it's great numbers.
- MS Flight Sim: 25K isn't great. Especially since it's a mainly PC played game. But it's also a niche title so it's not "HORRIBLE".
- Indiana Jones: 12K is a HORRIBLE number, considering it was day one on PC and cost MS ALOOOOT of money for the license.
- Forza MS's 4.7K is HORRIBLE!!!!!! Just plain terrible. This used to be Xbox's Gran Turismo competitor. Not even hitting 5K concurrent on Steam is down right embarrasing.
- HellBlade 2: 5.6K is again VERY BAD (less bad than Forza Motorsport and Indiana Jones though). But since it was only $40 at launch and the budget was around $50 Million (I think that was the budget), it's not as bad as some on this list.
So with that in mind, I'd say if South of Midnight can get up to 2.5K, then is that really that much different from some of these other Xbox games; all things considered?

I have literally only seen one thing for this game, and that was the announcement. I have not seen any form of advertisement, or forum post, or article about it. There is just no word of mouth. DEI explanations aside, there is just no word of mouth on it. It could have the coolest premise and gameplay, but it is just an unknown game. Who cares if its free. I dont play free games on PS+ if I dont know what they are.

You know, if you fancy an actually good game with some southern folklore in it there's always this:
I'd love a remake of this. Awesome game.
LiS
- By November 2023, the game had garnered "20 million total players"
Detroit
- By the end of 2024, it had sold 11 million units.[134]
Until Dawn
- Somewhere north of 2.5M (for the original)
Not to mention the entire series of TellTale games (I can't be bothered to fish out the best sellers there - but they were big).
And just for good measure (even less gameplay than any of the above)
FNAF grossed $137.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $159.9 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $297.2 million.
Sounds right up there with Sony's 'Niche-man' niche games.

Hey dumbass I was refuting what the other loser said about it factually being unappealing a comment you approved. Since you know he's factually wrong your psc ass trying to shift the convo to me letting game journos dictate my gaming
