Six weeks after Microsoft canceled its £1/$1 game Pass trial in the run-up to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the deal has now been reinstated as part of Microsoft’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions. the company, but only for PC. .
As was the case before the offer was removed, that £1/$1 provides 14 days to explore the PC game Pass catalog (sadly, Microsoft won’t be reverting to the one-month variant last seen in August 2023). After that, trial members will be automatically signed up for a recurring monthly subscription unless they turn off auto-renewal in advance.
Microsoft’s next big first-party release, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, arrives on December 9, meaning it will be available to play as part of the newly revived PC game Pass trial. However, console players will have to pay the full price for Xbox Games Pass Ultimate if they want to play via subscription on launch day.
The PC game Pass trial is one of the discounts Microsoft has announced as part of its Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotion. It’s also offering a £50 discount on the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series S Family & Friends 512GB bundle, and there’s also £40 off refurbished consoles.
Plus, there’s 20 percent off a selection of Xbox controllers, including the Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher variants, plus 50 percent off the Xbox Series X Mineral Camo wrap if you live on a coral reef and want to try disguising your machine. .
Finally, those looking for something to play on their new consoles at small discounts can get “up to” 55 percent off a variety of digital games at the Microsoft Store. These are mostly older, lesser-known indies, but you’ll also find a couple of Like a Dragon titles.
Microsoft notes that its hardware deals will end on December 2, but it looks like the PC game Pass trial will continue for longer.
