Xbox Game Pass $1 trial gets the axe once again ahead of Starfield launch

It appears as though the Xbox Game Pass $1 trial has once again been removed. As reported by Eurogamer and others the offer, which gave new members a 14-day Game Pass Ultimate trail of just $1, is no longer available on the sign-up page on Xbox.com.

This after the long-running $1-for-your-first-month offer was first suddenly cut earlier this year, only to return a few months later before being reduced to a 14-day trial. At this point it isn’t known whether the trial of gone for good.

Curiously, the removal of the $1 trial comes just ahead of next week’s Starfield release. (For those who bought the Premium Edition, early access will begin on Friday, September 1).
