Microsoft announced today that it will beending its long-running introductory offer for Game Pass, which allowed users to try out the service for a month for only $1 before moving on to the full price. This deal applied to both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, but has since been pulled for both, meaning new customers can no longer dip their toes into the waters of Game Pass before taking the plunge.
Anecdotally, the $1 introductory offer was incredibly effective in hooking new members. It certainly got me into PC Game Pass – I was drawn by the idea of a huge library that cost only a dollar, then tried it out and immediately realised that it was very worth the full monthly price. Even if you only play two or three games a year on the subscription, it’s incredible value for the sheer number of titles you have access to, and the range of indies available is incredible. I also know that without that incredibly cheap first month, I likely never would have tried it, since I don’t like wasting money on subscriptions I don’t end up using.
