Speaking to The Verge, the head of global communications at Xbox (Kari Perez) explained that the team was evaluating other marketing promotions for new Xbox Game Pass members in the future: Various fans spotted the removal of the offer over the weekend, which was followed up by an official statement from the company. That's an acceptable compromise for some folks-a low monthly price for access to loads of AAA and indie games-but your author is going to keep buying physical games, thanks.Microsoft has confirmed that the very popular $1 trial for Xbox Game Pass has been 'stopped'. If you want to keep playing, you've got to keep paying into perpetuity. Of course, the downside of Game Pass on the user side of things is that you don't get to keep the titles once you end your subscription. Even when you do use Game Pass, you're just downloading a digital copy of the games it ultimately costs Microsoft very little to deploy. The tech giant is quite enthusiastic about Game Pass, and understandably so-folks aren't quick to cancel monthly subscriptions, even when they aren't using them, which means it's basically free money for Microsoft.

It's possible that the end of this trial could signal the expansion of that plan Microsoft's been expanding access to its Game Pass services to many other countries, too. The countries that can make use of the family plan include Colombia, Chile, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden. However, that deal isn't available yet in the US or UK, or indeed most of the world. The Verge notes that Microsoft has a ' Friends & Family' plan available in a few select countries that allows a user to pay a higher monthly price-around $24/month-to share Game Pass with up to four other users.
