The most common Xbox Series X problems and how to fix them

Like any other consoles, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S aren't without issues. We all hate being interrupted when playing the best Xbox games with some technical glitch.

From swamps to Appalachia, how South of Midnight captures a seldom-seen America

Hazel runs away from a giant crocodile in South of Midnight.

After a slow start to this console generation, Xbox is looking to make its mark starting in 2025. Major entries in franchises like Gears of War, Doom, and Fable are on the way, alongside an ambitious Perfect Dark revival. The most intriguing game in its lineup, though, isn’t a glitzy game from a pre-existing franchise; it’s something entirely new.

South of Midnight is the latest game from We Happy Few developer Compulsion games, and the studio’s first project since being acquired by Microsoft in 2018. The action-adventure project, set to launch in 2025, is unique in two key ways. For one, it has a unique visual style that makes it look like a playable stop-motion film. It’s also a video game set in a place that few big-budget games have ever deeply explored: America’s deep South. It’s a magical realist story inspired by Southern gothic literature and folktales from the region.
