Incredible Dark Souls mod gives the beloved classic a pixel art 'demaster,' and I'm in love

Pixel Souls Demastered.

What you need to know

  • FromSoftware's legendary 2011 action RPG Dark Souls is often considered one of the best games ever, and a remastered version was released in 2018 on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC.
  • Modder @Greatgramcrackr has created a project called "Pixel Souls Demastered" for the PC version of Dark Souls: Remastered that gives its graphics a pixel art appearance, while also reducing model and audio quality for a distinct retro feel.
  • The project is similar to Bloodborne PSX, a fan-made "demake" of FromSoftware's 2015 PlayStation exclusive that came out early in 2022.
  • @Greatgramcrackr hopes to add 8-bit remixes of Dark Souls music tracks to the mod in the future, and may even "demaster" other FromSoftware titles as well.
