The Soulslike genre, pioneered by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, has carved out a niche in the RPG/action-adventure gaming world. Over the past decade, this subgenre has grown tremendously, producing ambitious titles such as Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, all of which were standout releases in 2023.

Xbox Game Pass stands out for its diverse library, catering to a broad range of gaming preferences. While FromSoftware's genre-defining titles are not part of the service, Xbox Game Pass offers a selection of top-notch Soulslike games that serve as excellent alternatives to Dark Souls and Bloodborne.

Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: As we step into the new year, the question on everyone's mind is whether Game Pass will see the addition of major Soulslike titles. While it's early days, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is generating buzz as a promising contender. In the meantime, subscribers have a wealth of Soulslike experiences to explore on Game Pass.

New Game Pass Soulslike games will be prominently featured at the top of our list, at least initially.
