Earlier in the year they removed the trial offer. Now it’s returned, but worse than before.
As they continue to spend billions buying publishers and developers to shore up their Game Pass offerings, expect prices to go up and the deals to get worse.
The price of Game Pass is still four months for the price of one full priced new release game, like it was before. But now new games cost $70 instead of $60.
Game Pass is still $9.99 a month for PC, unless they upped the priced literally today. So $40 for 4 months, which includes new released games that are otherwise still sold full price, and narrative indie titles that most would only play through once anyways.
I was referring to the price for Ultimate.

That’s how sub services always work. They get a user base via great introduction offers then slowly raise prices up to where they should be and hope enough people are brought into the ecosystem to not leave.
I think once my current gamepass offer is up in a year and a half I’ll be using the service similar to blockbuster. Only grabbing a month when there’s a couple things I’m interested in trying.
So essentially it’s a 100% price increase.
For the trial, the actual service is going up a couple of quid a month.
@soyagi For 1 Euros or Dollars, you can’t be mad at it.
