  • passwordistaco on 08/04/2019 - 17:59

    Will this work for users that are in the free trial period?

    • silverrat23 on 08/04/2019 - 18:07

      If that previous trial period expires, yes.

  • poxy001 on 08/04/2019 - 18:00

      It will still be available on 8/5/2019 so for just $1, just keep the current one. Then, in about a month, purchase this for another 3 months worth.

  • Osiris on 08/04/2019 - 18:47

    No better value in gaming.

    You end up trying games you would never have purchased.

    Until 12th of May. I think mine expires on the 9th, I had a bunch of freebies from the Mastercard deal but only grabbed about a year or so, didn't wanna be too greedy. If I snag this, that'd be sick. Cheers, OP.

  • TLZ on 08/04/2019 - 20:07

    This should also say PC in the title as gamepass is Xbox play anywhere capable.

    Below is the current PC list that I could find. $1 for 3 months is worth it for State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves and Ark.

    Gears of War 4
    Halo Wars 2
    Halo Wars: Definitive Edition
    ReCore
    Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection
    Super Lucky's Tale
    Sea of Thieves
    State of Decay 2
    Disneyland Adventures
    Ruiner
    Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure Achievements
    Snake Pass
    Forza Horizon 4
    Hello Neighbor
    ARK: Survival Evolved
    We Happy Few
    Crackdown 3: Campaign
    Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

    • steelpanther on 08/04/2019 - 21:27

      Definitely good value for PC, even with less titles. I'm just finishing the last deal which was $2 for 2 months - and all I played was Forza Horizon 4. Including a previous $1 for 1 month, I've gotten 3 months of playing FH4 for $3 - better than paying full price for the game!

      Note: Operencia is another game that has just been added to Game Pass that I think is available for PC.

    • [Deactivated] on 08/04/2019 - 22:35

      Any other games like headlander (metroidvania) on gp

    • Lysander on 09/04/2019 - 00:25

      Might be a noob question but how does it work?

      I do not have an XBox account. I do not have an XBox (at least not here with me).
      If I get this to play the games on PC, I make an XBox account (I assume I can do this on a PC), then redeem the code, and then I can download the games onto the PC using the XBox account in Firefox? Is that right?

      Or is there anything else I need to do?

      • steelpanther on 09/04/2019 - 09:35

        You download the game from the Microsoft Store - you just need a Microsoft account and then it's like downloading any Windows app from the store.

        • Lysander on 09/04/2019 - 10:40

          But I need to make an XBox account first to redeem the game pass code, right?
          Or can I make a MS account and do it there?

          • steelpanther on 09/04/2019 - 22:27

            @Lysander: They are basically the same thing these days. You create an MS account, and then if you are using an Xbox you make that your Xbox account.

    • Ostrk on 10/04/2019 - 02:25

      Forza Horizon 4 is insanely good. Hadn't played a racing game since Forza Motorsport 2 but I picked this one up and I found it to be insanely fun.

      • ShoeyAU on 11/04/2019 - 07:50

        Totally agree. I bought the One X Big W deal posted here and blown away since the FM2 on Xbox360. Without hesitation I got a Logitech G920 wheel to go with it.

        • cille745 on 12/04/2019 - 18:03

          Is the g920 good? Been looking for one but hesitant given the cost

          • Diji1 on 12/04/2019 - 18:19

            @cille745: It's the best option at that price level.

            It's more like a very good controller than a car wheel though.

        • steelpanther on 12/04/2019 - 19:30

          How did you go with the G920 in FH4 - especially on the cross-country/dirt tracks? I've got a G25 (using it on a PC) and had to adjust it a lot as it was too sensitive.

    • edathor on 13/04/2019 - 11:08

      There are several more blockbusters. Including Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Tomb Raider, Shadow of Mordor, Minecraft, Alien Isolation, Just Cause 3, Vampyr. Just sign in to the Microsoft Store. The games are tagged with Game Pass.

      I was wrong. Those games are just discounted for game pass subscribers or available on Xbox only.

      • geo365 on 14/04/2019 - 14:23

        Yeh I initially thought the same as you last year. Mainly because they make it out that way by saying free with gamepass on the win10 store app. Pretty annoying if you ask me.

        No direct way to display just game pass play anywhere games.

  • UFO on 09/04/2019 - 07:35

    I'm just going to make it!

    Last OzBargain deal for Gamepass expires early May for me… very happy this deal goes to 12th May!
    Thanks for posting OP.

    • Iggemo on 12/04/2019 - 15:23

      Well, yeah. There was a previous deal which said expired such and such date and i waited for it cos i wanted to take it on the last date but it was then removed early (and not a day early but way earlier) so im a bit reluctant to put it off too long these days

            @fieldafar: I tried 4 times and got refunded on three occasions, so hopefully it went through. Chatting with Microsoft now.

            Edit: My bad, one of the 4 payments were for Gold for a month.

      Straight away :) I just did.

      It will say when it will stop after switching off recurring billing.

      i.e.
      Recurring billing off, expires on 7/11/2019

      (displays in US style date.. so July 11th for me)

      PS: Thanks OP for alerting us on this, it's a great deal.

      • EnALup on 12/04/2019 - 15:35

        Thanks. Yes, I stopped the recurring billing as well.

  • Gryllis on 12/04/2019 - 15:19

    Worked fine on my existing account. Cancelled renewal and did it again a few times for 12 months for $65 in total.

  • Messiahlad on 12/04/2019 - 15:59

    I just did the 3 months for $1. Then I turned of reoccurring billing against it. Subsequently, I just used my Xbox rewards points to extend by another 3 months at 13500 points which is reduced at the moment from 18000. Upon applying the reward, MS offer one month free for turning on automatic renewal. 7 months for minimum effort is a nice gift for little time I get game these days.

  • brokeneither on 12/04/2019 - 18:07

    Thanks OP. Glad I held off on buying SoD2 can't wait to play on PC. SoT too!

  • WeePaulie on 12/04/2019 - 18:26

    Has anyone had this lapse during the promo? I have 6 days left and had already cancelled it prior to the deal going live.

    Oddly when I do to the website, it says $1 while logged in, but then when I get to payment it's half off at about $17.

    Called support and they couldn't help with my questions.

    • JohnyEnglish on 12/04/2019 - 20:37

      Having same issue.

    • sinners007 on 28/04/2019 - 16:44

      It's straight froward really. Whilst you have an active Game Pass (which you do, until it expires, regardless of whether you have cancelled or not), you won't see the $1 offer. The day your Game Pass expires, log back in & you will see & be eligible for the $1 offer.

      As for seeing $1, then when you to pay it says $17, that's just how the Microsoft site is.

  • steelpanther on 12/04/2019 - 19:52
    +4

    For those people wanting to try Game Pass on the PC, select the Microsoft Store and then the 3 dots at the top right select My Library. Once you are subscribed to Game Pass that screen will have an option "Xbox Game Pass" at the left. Selecting that will show all the Game Pass games with blue box with "Install" in it if you are able to install it on the PC (all others are Xbox only) - changes to a blue box with "Play" in it once you install it. I counted 15 games that can be installed on the PC.

  • edathor on 22/04/2019 - 09:07

    I found this confusing. I thought this also included the free Games with Gold. But it doesn't.

    I hope someone else find the following useful:
    - Games with Gold is an added benefit specific to Xbox Live Gold members that rewards players with two to four free games each month to enjoy.
    - Xbox Game Pass is a subscription-based service that gives you unlimited access to over 100 Xbox One and Xbox 360 backward compatible games for Xbox One. Xbox Live Gold is not required for Xbox Game Pass, however, Xbox Live Gold is required for multiplayer titles that are part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog.

    • sinners007 on 28/04/2019 - 16:45

      There shouldn't really be confusion. They are two separate products but, like will all XB1 games, you need Gold to play online. Microsoft will release an option later in the year, apparently, that includes both Game Pass & Gold in one.

    • roughana on 08/05/2019 - 23:06

      Thanks for the distinction. Sounds like no benefit for Xbox 360 owners? Or are they still accessible for Xbox 360?

      • edathor on 12/05/2019 - 12:06

        Xbox 360 owners miss out. There are Xbox 360 games but you will need a Xbox One to play them.
