Microsoft canceled the $1 trial of Xbox Game Pass again before the launch of Star Sky.
CTOnews.com, August 28, if you want to try out Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass for 14 days for $1 so that you can play this sci-fi role-playing game on the day of the release of Starfield, you may be disappointed. Microsoft quietly removed the $1 trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass from its Xbox Game Pass site, probably in response to the release of Starry Sky, perhaps Microsoft's most anticipated first-party game in years.
Microsoft has been wavering about the $1 trial offer over the past few months, and in March it cancelled the offer altogether, which previously allowed users to use it for 30 days at a price of $1. Then in July, after raising the prices of Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Microsoft re-launched a $1 trial offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, which is still 30 days. But in August, Microsoft shortened the $1 trial period to 14 days, and now Microsoft has again cancelled the $1 trial offer before Star logs into Game Pass on Sept. 5.
That said, users can use PC Game Pass for $9.99 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 73 yuan) or use Xbox Series S and X-console Game Pass for a month to play Star Sky for $16.99 (currently about 124 yuan), which is certainly much cheaper than an one-time payment of $69.99 (currently about 510 yuan) for games. This should lead to a surge in the total number of Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, which may also be why Microsoft canceled the $1 trial offer again.
