South Of Midnight’s Success Doesn’t Change Dev’s Role At Xbox
While Compulsion Games enjoys a lot of success with their latest release, South of Midnight, this hasn’t changed the dev’s position under Xbox.
CEO Guillaume Provost told Game Rant that while the game has surpassed a million players after only three weeks, the studio isn’t out there trying to is not to “make blockbusters like Call of Duty,” instead they’re there to add diversity to their portfolio.
“I’m passionate about that being part of the mission for the studio moving into the future. In terms of what audience, what experiences, and what areas of the world we’ll represent next, I can’t tell you. But I think it’s an important role within Xbox for us to be a brand that appeals to people from all walks of life.”
Now, of note, compared to other Xbox first-party games, South of Midnight trails behind a bit, with games like Hi-Fi Rush and Avowed reaching two million and an estimated six million players respectively.
