With Microsoft ending the $1 Game Pass offer, we could see more movement on the Friends & Family plan soon. The trial is currently available in Ireland, Colombia, Chile, Hungary, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden but is yet to come over to the US or UK. Microsoft recently began trialling the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Friends & Family Plan in multiple countries, giving up to five accounts access to Ultimate for around $24. It's unclear if new members will see another promotion like this in the future. The all-you-can-eat digital download service for Xbox One, Series X/S and Windows, is £.

The $1 trial had been around for several years and allowed new users to check out what Game Pass had to offer for a full month before renewing at $14.99 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or $9.99 a month for either Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. As its full name suggests, Cloud Gaming is free to all those with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. "We have stopped 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," Xbox head of global communications Kari Perez confirmed to The Verge.
