![]() Kari Perez, head of global communications at Xbox, said: Microsoft teases new offers coming in the future. New subscribers now have no trial offer at all, and need to commit to the $14.99 monthly rate to try Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with cloud gaming, or Game Pass on PC or console for $9.99. Microsoft confirmed to The Verge that is has ended its “introductory offer” for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Microsoft is also looking to subtly shift the price of Game Pass around the friends & family plan that is slowly rolling out around the world, charging a little bit more per month, but making it more cost effective for families with multiple consoles.For quite some time now Microsoft has offered a $1 trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which granted new players access to the full library, including cloud gaming, for a fraction of the usual price. ![]() Starfield in particular is likely to push subscriber numbers, with PlayStation gamers perhaps turning to xCloud game streaming to check out the latest game from the makers of Skyrim and Fallout 4. ![]() Speaking of which, Microsoft is hoping to have some major hits on their hands in the form of Redfall and Stafield later this year. Far better to take it away now and then potentially bring it back for major game events and to spur on engagement during slower time of year and the Xbox release schedule. It’s more than four years since the offer was first made in 2018 – Game Pass Ultimate’s debut at E3 2019 made it effectively permanent – and with Microsoft saying in recent months that they feel they had largely saturated the console audience, it could be they’re no longer seeing the required returns and engagement with the promotion.
