FTA:

Microsoft has brought back everyone’s favorite deal: $1 for a month of PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate. If you’re purely interested in PC, that’s 100-some very high quality games available on a windows PC for a month, and then a bunch of EA games as well, since PC Game Pass also includes an EA Play membership.

You can find PC Game Pass for $1, for a limited time, on Microsoft’s store. PC Game Pass is $10 a month after the $1 promotion, while Game Pass Ultimate is $17.

I have Game Pass Ultimate and it’s been a wonderful way to try all kinds of games console and PC that I wouldn’t otherwise play. I discovered Hardspace: Shipbreaker this way, and have sunk dozens of hours into it.

    I swear they said they wouldn’t be doing this deal ever again.

    Actually nice to see they lied…

      It’ll be interesting to see if this runs long enough to overlap with the Starfield launch - I could see them getting an insane spike in subscribers then anyway, but this would likely seal the deal for many more.

        My most recent $1 Game Pass came from setting up Windows 11 on a new computer. One of the setup steps was “hey $1 Game Pass if you do it right now”.

        I haven’t tried it, but if you had a junk computer or spun up a virtual machine, you could probably score a bunch of months.
