‘We’re Excited to Support the Dev of Memorable Experiences’: Ex-Xbox Dev Looking for Work
Compulsion Games, the studio behind the upcoming PlayStation exclusive South of Midnight, has announced plans to expand support services for other developers in the games and entertainment industry. The move comes following the studio’s recent independence from Xbox Game Studios, a result of Microsoft’s restructuring that affected five Xbox studios in total.
As a newly independent entity, Compulsion Games is positioning itself to offer collaborative opportunities and development support to other studios, signaling a strategic pivot to maintain operations beyond its own game development. The studio revealed the expansion through a LinkedIn statement, noting they are “expanding opportunities to collaborate with studios across the games and entertainment industry.”
The announcement reflects how independent studios are adapting to industry challenges post-layoffs, diversifying their revenue streams through support services while continuing development on their own projects. South of Midnight remains in development for PlayStation 5.
