Microsoft recently revamped its subscription service offerings.

Microsoft recently announced that Xbox Game Pass Core will be replacing Xbox Live Gold. Microsoft quickly clarified that the increase was in no way related to the Activision Blizzard deal. The premium tier cost an additional $2 while the Game Pass added $1 to the monthly fee. Xbox announced in June that it was increasing the subscription price for both Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate. Interestingly, about 70% of subscribers have subscribed to the Game Pass Ultimate which is significantly more expensive. For Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the service costs $16.99 per month while PC Game Pass will cost $9.99. However, having a shorter period gives gamers significantly less time to enjoy the full spectrum of titles available to them - unless they use the various tricks to restart the timer that were around before.Īfter the trial period ends, subscribers will have to pay a recurring monthly subscription. The trial period gives players full access to Xbox’s full catalog of Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass titles.

Gamers can now try out the Xbox Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscription services for just 14 days at $1 then pay the full subscription price after. The change was first reported by the Polish gaming site XGP. It is less than half of the previous month-long trial period. Just a month after its return, Xbox fans noticed that the trial period has been shortened to just 14 days.

The popular trial offer was removed earlier this year as the company said that it was 'evaluating different marketing promotions.' The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate $1 monthly trial period was relaunched by Microsoft in July. However, Microsoft silently reduced the length of the trial period for the games subscription service. The $1 Xbox Game Pass subscription recently returned after being removed - to the great ire of many gamers on a budget - back in March. The trial period now just lasts two weeks.
