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 witnessed the launch of major Soulslike releases like Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.

Xbox Game Pass's strength lies in its diverse game library. The service strives for broad appeal, encompassing various genres. Soulslikes are well-represented, despite the absence of FromSoftware's seminal titles. Nevertheless, 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 library.

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