If you are looking for the best Soulslike games on PS Plus in September 2026, there are quite a few to choose from, with the subscription currently offering a surprisingly varied selection of games inspired by FromSoftware’s formula. This list covers the best Soulslike and Soulsborne games you can enjoy if you have access to the game catalogue, ranked.
It’s also important to note that these titles are subject to leaving the service at any given moment.
8 Thymesia
Thymesia | Credit: OverBorder StudioThymesia is one of the more recognizable Soulslike titles you’ll find on PS Plus. Set in the plague-ridden Kingdom of Hermes, it puts players in control of Corvus, a plague doctor capable of turning the diseases carried by enemies into weapons.
The biggest strength of this one is combat, with your character being extremely agile, and the game encouraging you to play aggressively rather than simply hiding behind a shield. The ability to use diseases as temporary weapons gives battles their own identity.
7 Salt and Sacrifice

The side-scrolling perspective also brings a fresh change to the Soulslike formula. The in-game exploration introduces interconnected areas and platforming with dangerous encounters, while the Mage hunts provide some of the game’s most memorable challenges. The best part is that it also supports online co-op, giving players the option to tackle the world with a friend.
6 The Surge

Instead of the usual knights and castles, players fight through the CREO industrial complex while wearing an exoskeleton. The standout feature for this one is its limb-targeting system, allowing players to deliberately attack specific body parts, cutting off enemy limbs and obtaining equipment from them.
This makes it so that targeting an armored limb can make an opponent harder to defeat, but it becomes worth it as doing so helps in grabbing valuable gear.
5 The Surge 2

The science-fiction setting continues, but the sequel expands the world and, most importantly, significantly refines combat. The limb-targeting mechanic also returns, giving players more reasons to choose which parts of an enemy to attack, making the combat feel more responsive, while the larger world helps provide more room for exploration.
4 Fade to Silence

You will find the game set in a frozen post-apocalyptic world, with the game forcing the player to balance survival needs with exploration and long-term progression. As you play, you will end up recruiting followers and undertaking expeditions that end up adding another layer to simply defeating enemies.
3 Enotria: The Last Song

Instead of relying on the usual gloomy medieval aesthetic, it takes inspiration from Italian folklore and culture. What you will find the most interesting is the game’s Mask system, which allows players to take on abilities and characteristics of enemies you have defeated so far, adding a lot of flexibility to character builds and encouraging experimentation.
2 Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty answers that question. Developed by Team NINJA, the game emphasizes lightning-fast martial-arts combat and aggressive offense.
Its biggest strength is the Morale system and combat rhythm. Successfully deflecting attacks means that you get to change the momentum of a battle, making fights feel closer to a high-speed martial-arts duel than a traditional Souls encounter. You will also find online multiplayer, and three major DLC expansions available separately as part of the Complete Edition.
1 Bloodborne
Bloodborne | Credit: FromSoftwareThere was never much doubt about which game would take the top spot in this list. Bloodborne remains the most definitive Soulsborne experience that can be found on PS Plus, while also being one of FromSoftware’s most influential games.
Everything from Yharnam’s gothic architecture, the Lovecraftian horror, mysterious lore, and unforgettable bosses creates an environment that only a few games have ever matched. Most importantly, Bloodborne’s combat encourages players to stay aggressive, with the rally system awarding attacks on enemies shortly after taking damage, while firearms can be used to parry opponents.
This game also has some of FromSoftware’s strongest level design, with interconnected areas that gradually reveal the disturbing truth behind Yharnam and its secrets.
