The Soulslike subgenre, pioneered by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, has significantly impacted the RPG/action-adventure landscape. This burgeoning category has yielded numerous ambitious titles over the past decade. 2023 alone saw the release of major Soulslike contenders: Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Xbox Game Pass's strength lies in its diverse library, aiming to cater to a wide range of preferences. Soulslikes are well-represented, despite the absence of FromSoftware's foundational titles. Game Pass offers compelling Soulslike alternatives to Dark Souls and Bloodborne.

Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The arrival of significant new Soulslike titles on Game Pass in the new year remains uncertain, though Wuchang: Fallen Feathers shows promise. Meanwhile, subscribers can explore the extensive existing collection.

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