If you thought this was too good a deal to be true, I guess Microsoft agreed. A short excerpt:

"You can no longer claim a trial of Xbox Game Pass for £1/$1, just days ahead of Starfield, the year's biggest Microsoft launch.

"The option has been removed from Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass sign-up website (thanks, XGP). Now, you must simply pay the full amount for your first month."

Yeah. If you play a lot of little indie games, and tend to only play through them once, it's an absurd bargain.

It's also great in that you can try a lot of stuff without having to research it at all first, so you get really nice surprises sometimes. And you can try things risk-free, so sometimes I'll try something I wouldn't have expected to like and wouldn't have bought and be pleasantly surprised. It can open up entire genres to people this way, as an intro to different types of games.

I do tend to buy a month or two, drop out, then buy another month when the catalogue is different though.
