The Soulslike subgenre, pioneered by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, has significantly impacted action-adventure RPGs. This burgeoning genre has yielded numerous ambitious titles over the past decade. 2023 alone saw 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 game library, catering to a wide range of preferences. Soulslikes are well-represented, even without FromSoftware's seminal titles. The service boasts several excellent Soulslike alternatives to Dark Souls and Bloodborne.

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

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