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

Xbox Game Pass's diverse library is a key selling point. The service aims for broad appeal, encompassing a wide range of genres. Soulslikes are well-represented, even without FromSoftware's foundational titles. Many excellent Soulslike alternatives to Dark Souls and Bloodborne are available.

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

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