While the news of no more $1 first month trials for the service, we know that Microsoft has many more deals brewing in the pipeline. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription costs $14.99 per month. If you are looking to purchase a new membership to the Xbox Game Pass, new subscriptions start as low as $9.99 per month.

The news about the $1 trial month offer no longer being offered was first reported by The Verge. Microsoft stated: “We have stopped our previous introductory offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass and are evaluating different marketing promotions for new members in the future.” My favorite analogy that I tend to use is that the Xbox Game Pass is just like a Netflix subscription, except for playing video games. If you are unfamiliar with the Xbox Game Pass, it is a video game subscription service that allows you to purchase the service in exchange for a massive library of games. However, Microsoft will no longer be offering that promotion moving forward.

It has been widely determined that the Xbox Game Pass has been one of the best deals in gaming and for new subscribers, you’ve been able to get the first month for just $1. Over the past six years, Microsoft has done a tremendous job of growing its video game subscription service. Now, Xbox Game Pass is going up in price, reducing cheaper trial times, and cutting the potential earnings of its Rewards system, making it a more costly service.The Xbox Game Pass was first released by Microsoft in 2017. Players would grind each month to potentially earn a $10 gift card (or other bonuses in the point store), letting them save up for games simply by playing in the Xbox ecosystem.

This follows the news from June that Game Pass will be getting more expensive, increasing from $9.99 to $10.99 per month for the standard subscription and from $14.99 to $16.99 per month for Ultimate version. It now says, 'Get your first 14 days for $1, then $16.99 per month', halving the deal.
