Microsoft has reduced the duration of its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial offer from 30 days to 14 days. The trial offer, which previously allowed new subscribers to try Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming for $1, now provides only a two-week trial period.
This change comes after a recent price increase for Xbox Game Pass, which raised the cost of the base subscription from $9.99/£7.99 to $10.99/£8.99 per month and the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription from $14.99/£10.99 to $16.99/£12.99 per month. The price increase brought the cost of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate more in line with other premium gaming subscription services.
The Xbox Game Pass service has been praised as one of the best deals in gaming, offering a vast library of games, including day-one launches from Xbox Game Studios and indie developers. However, the recent changes to the trial offer and price increase have led to some disappointment among gamers who have enjoyed the service’s affordability and content variety.
