Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Gotta pay for that Activision-Blizzard acquisition somehow, right?!? Say goodbye to absurdly cheap Game Pass: Microsoft is killing the $1 trial | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM I'd buy that for a dollar, but Phil Spencer won't let me. Quote Bad news, everyone: We'll no longer be able to live high on the hog of Microsoft's largesse. The Verge(opens in new tab) reports that the company is terminating its long-lived—and very persuasive—$1 Game Pass Ultimate trial(opens in new tab), which gave you a month's access to the 100+ games in the PC and Xbox Game Pass libraries for the low, low price of barely anything. Microsoft hasn't said why it's choosing to retire the $1 trial now, after so many years of availability, but did tell The Verge that it's "evaluating different marketing promotions for new members in the future". It could well be the case that the trial ends up replaced by some other scheme designed to tempt players onto the full $15/£11 per month Game Pass bandwagon in the near future.

It never made sense that it was an amazing deal for a trial. Basically I was told a free trial for $1 was good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I would've killed that shit a long time ago. Made sense when it was first starting out and they needed to convince people to buy in, but now it's just common gamer knowledge that it's a legit service. No need to panhandle for users anymore.
