It had been one of Microsoft’s main bulwarks to attract new audiences to Xbox Game Pass, but the bargain is over. The company has terminated its offer of one euro for a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimatehaving been on the market for several years to be able to play on all platforms.
As the company has indicated in a communicated to The Verge, “We have discontinued our previous introductory offer for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass and are evaluating different marketing promotions for new members in the future.” Therefore, we will see what Microsoft’s proposal will be in the future to continue attracting attention in such a powerful way as it did so far.
It is necessary to emphasize the fact that many users could acquire months of Xbox Live Gold that could later be exchanged as time for Xbox Game Pass for only one euro. A simple way to do the exchange to a superior service saving a lot of moneybut now that opportunity is completely gone.
However, Microsoft has yet to launch its platform’s Friends & Family plan globally. This aims to be the real ace up the sleeve with which the brand will play, since it has been launched in countries such as Chile, Sweden or Ireland offering the advantages of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to share between four people.
The starting price in Ireland is 21.99 euros, which is equivalent to practically 5.5 euros per head to maintain a joint subscription. For now, the company has not revealed the release date of this tier that is not even available in the United States.
