If you thought this was too good a deal to be true, I guess Microsoft agreed. A short excerpt:
"You can no longer claim a trial of Xbox Game Pass for £1/$1, just days ahead of Starfield, the year’s biggest Microsoft launch.
“The option has been removed from Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass sign-up website (thanks, XGP). Now, you must simply pay the full amount for your first month.”
That’s precisely the plan. Also many people will forget about yet another subscription and let it run
Looking at my game purchases a year and as a pretty heavy gamer, I come out just over the cost of game pass. Big thing is that I get to keep my games without needing to re-up the subscription.
Yeah right now when there’s a lot of games coming out it seems great, but middle of COVID I remember nothing was coming out, and I would have had to keep paying for the games I had already played.
Nah, I’ll gladly keep buying them.
