The Soulslike subgenre, pioneered by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, has significantly impacted action-RPGs. This challenging style has spawned numerous ambitious titles over the past decade. 2023 alone witnessed the release of major Soulslike titles like Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Xbox Game Pass's strength lies in its diverse library, catering to a broad range of gaming preferences. Soulslikes are well-represented, even without FromSoftware's foundational titles. Game Pass offers excellent alternatives to Dark Souls and Bloodborne.

Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The arrival of new Soulslike games on Game Pass in 2025 remains uncertain, though Wuchang: Fallen Feathers shows promise. Meanwhile, subscribers have access to a substantial existing collection.

Newly added Soulslike games on Game Pass will be featured prominently.
