Being the Grim Reaper sounds like a fairly secure career. Unfortunately, Death Simulator has a quota to meet, demanding managers to impress and plenty of souls who would rather not cooperate.
Available now for £12.49 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Xbox Play Anywhere support, this supernatural first-person experience puts you behind the scythe and into one of the afterlife’s most stressful jobs.
Developed and published by MagicProStudio, Death Simulator imagines a world where around 200,000 souls die every day and the afterlife operates with all the charm of a particularly ruthless corporation. Your first task? Try not to get fired.

Your Soul-Collecting Shift Starts Now
Every soul comes with a countdown timer. When that timer reaches zero, you’re expected to collect the target and send it onwards. Miss the opportunity, however, and the problem doesn’t simply disappear into the paperwork.
You’ll need to track fleeing souls across neon-lit streets, skyscrapers and supernatural arenas, using a range of otherworldly tools to get the job done. Miss too many targets or fail to meet your quota, and management apparently has some rather creative ideas about employee discipline.
It’s probably best not to ask whether there’s a staff handbook.
Spectral Tools For A Difficult Job
Death Simulator gives you several ways to bring reluctant souls under control. The Spectral Chain Hooks can drag targets towards you from considerable distances, while the Bow of Final Will allows you to take shots through windows, across rooftops and even at souls in mid-flight.
When a more direct approach is required, Hell Gates allow you to open portals and personally deliver souls to their eternal destination. The tools are designed to make soul collection feel more active than simply wandering around with a clipboard and waiting for people to stop moving.
Of course, the souls aren’t necessarily going to make your shift easy.
When The Dead Refuse To Cooperate
Some souls panic and attempt to escape through the city, while corrupted spirits can tear open reality and transform otherwise peaceful neighbourhoods into dangerous combat zones. Things become even more complicated when escaped souls from Hell possess the living.
That means your responsibilities can quickly shift from precision collection to supernatural combat. You’ll pursue targets across rooftops, fight waves of corrupted entities and deal with reality-bending threats in arenas designed to showcase the game’s Unreal Engine 5 visuals.
Climb The Corporate Afterlife Ladder
Beyond the action, Death Simulator includes a progression system focused on advancing through Death’s hierarchy. Successfully collecting souls and meeting your targets should help you move up the corporate ladder, although the consequences of falling behind sound considerably more memorable.
With its mixture of supernatural combat, soul-hunting tools and workplace-inspired progression, Death Simulator takes a knowingly grim approach to the daily grind. At least most office jobs don’t involve chasing corrupted spirits through a hole in reality.
For £12.49 from the Xbox Store, MagicProStudio’s Death Simulator offers Xbox and PC players the opportunity to discover whether they have what it takes to manage the afterlife. Just remember: your performance review is probably going to be eternal.
