Microsoft axes $1 Xbox Game Pass trial just days out from Starfield launch
Microsoft has pulled the plug on its mega-cheap Xbox Game Pass two-week trial, angering fans who were eager to capitalize on the offer for this week’s hotly-anticipated launch of Bethesda’s Starfield.
Many awoke on Aug. 29 to find the $1, 14-day trial option gone from Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass page, with Polish news site XGP initially reporting its disappearance in the evening of Aug. 28. Word quickly spread with many left unsurprised but disappointed at Microsoft’s decision.
