[PC] Xbox Game Pass for PC - 3 Month Subscription for $1 (New/Inactive Members) @ Microsoft

4000

Buy PC 1 Month and get 2 months free. You will be charged $1 for the first month, and got the next 2 months for free. So in total you get 3 months of subscription for $1.
Works for new members and inactive members. I cancelled my subscription 2 or 3 months ago, and was able to take this deal just now.

Great timing for the new Age of Empires IV, I was going to buy it from Steam.

Subscription continues automatically at $10.95/month unless cancelled through your Microsoft Account.

  • Does this work for the Xbox as well?

    • No, however Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes both (Xbox & PC subscription) and it's currently available for $1/month.

      • +1

        $14.99 for me.

        • I made a mistake with store region and can't edit that post, here's Australian link.
          Though I suspect the deal is like OP's and is not available to people with an active Ultimate subscription.

          • @EvilBob: Doesn’t work for me.

          • @EvilBob: I don't have an active subscription, and that link says $15.95 for me.

              @Uncle Bert:

              I don't have an active subscription, and that link says $15.95 for me.

              Trial before?

                @superforever: I must've done. EvilBob didn't mention that though.

                • @Uncle Bert: Just 3 months Xbox game pass for PC should be fine, the only problem is upgrade it to $1 ultimate.

                  • @superforever: Sorry mate, what do you mean?

                      @Uncle Bert:

                      Sorry mate, what do you mean?

                      This deal is for 3 months Xbox game pass for PC, if you don't have an active subscription should be able to get it.

                      The only problem we are facing for some people like me, won't be able to upgrade it to ultimate for $1 but some can, may be I trial ultimate not long ago.

                      • @superforever: Yep. I have no interest in the PC side of things, but would get a few months of Ultimate just for the xbox portion. It seems I'm not eligible though.

                        • @Uncle Bert:

                          but would get a few months of Ultimate

                          Seem that is the case, they won't allow $1 ultimate if you have it before.

      • That's only 1 month tho

        • As subscriptions are console-wide, you can just create a new account, pay $1 for a month, then turn off auto-renew.

          Only thing you miss out on is the Gamepass quests. Plus you'll have to set that Xbox as your home console for the new account, to avoid having to stay logged in on it while playing on your main account.

          • @ProfessorBargain: Then I'd lose access to all the games I've purchased/got from gold in the past wouldn't I?

            • @Jackson: no, you still have gold on your account even if its being shared

              • +1

                @abjsdhasehasee: Oh I see what you mean, console wide meant if you have a subscription with any account everyone logged in gets access. Wouldn't that eventually get you banned tho?

                • +1

                  @Jackson: only if you set that specific xbox as my home xbox, and you can only change it 3 times a month or something like that, so you cant just go to your friends house and give em gold for the night or whatever yknow

                  bannable? probably if they wanted… do they care? probably not, ive been doing it for 1.5 years

      • (Xbox & PC subscription) and it's currently available for $1/month

        This link is US?

      • I may have asked this previously but are the DLCs &/or Season Passes included with the games on GamePass?

        Also, with the games that are removed, do you need to install them before they're taken off the store, or does it have a claiming-type feature so you can flag it as owned then download when you're ready to play them

        • +1

          I may have asked this previously but are the DLCs &/or Season Passes included with the games on GamePass?

          Whether or not DLC is included varies heavily, it often isn't likely because the publisher is hoping people will buy them instead.

          Also, with the games that are removed, do you need to install them before they're taken off the store, or does it have a claiming-type feature so you can flag it as owned then download when you're ready to play them

          No, that's not how it works. Firstly they will not be taken off the Microsoft store, they just get removed from GamePass. If you have a game still installed after it is removed from GamePass it will be unplayable, you'll get a prompt telling you to buy it. You can only play the game while it's actively on GamePass. One thing of note however is that games published by Microsoft are unlikely to ever be removed from GamePass (eg. DOOM Eternal, Age of Empires 4, MS Flight Simulator).

    Thanks, nearly got the $1 for 1 month the other day. I'll take the extra 2 months!

  • oh nice again i did this deal around june as well and can now use it for AOE 4, forza and halo.

  • Will i be able to play battlefield 2042 upon launch, which is in few weeks?

    • don't think so i believe the EA play side of things only include a few full games.

      u might be able to play for 10 hours free or something like that though

    • Battlefield V is on game pass, but not BF2042. It's a newly released game by EA, they're not going to put a $60~80 title on Game Pass or EA play that soon.

    • +5

      Xbox Game Pass includes EA Play. As which, you get a 10 hour free trial of BF2042. Which is on November 12.

  • Check this works properly for you - its only giving me two free months.

    I.e my next charge date is 2 Jan 2022

    • yep mines 8th of febuary.

      huh 8th is kinda funny get an extra week?

    • +16

      Actually - if you have the option to upgrade to Ultimate for $1, you will get free ultimate until 2/3/2022!

      Steps (in my case)
      Sign up to Game Pass for PC ($1)
      Upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate ($1)

      Total: $2
      Next charge date: 3/3/2022

      • +2

        for some reason, It still wants to charge me $15.95 for the upgrade to ultimate. I followed the instructions, got the 1 month for $1 and now when trying to upgrade, no matter what I try it wants to charge $15.95. Which is weird since it said there was a discount active but it disappeared lmao

      • +2

        How did you upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for $1?
        It wants to charge me $15.95/month at checkout.

        • +3

          Hey,

          I'm not too sure, I just clicked on the microsoft account settings
          Left side has subscriptions and I had an offer to upgrade to ultimate for $1

          Maybe because I am a first time user potentially?

        • +1

          This is what I did after purchasing $1/3mth sub…

          Click the bargain link - Gamepass (top of screen) - overview - show all plans

          Ultimate section said $1 for 1mth, then reverts to $15.95.
          When purchased It converted over the whole 3mths sub to ultimate.
          Then I went back to settings and turned off recurring subscription. ;)

          • @Pred8r: This is exactly what happened to me, I got the 3 months for $1, It then said 1 month Ultimate at $1 and then charged $15 going forward, but when I pay that $1 to upgrade to Ultimate it said the whole 3 months is now Ultimate.

            Its telling me expiration date is 3/2/2022, I assume that is the American M/D/Y format and I have until the 2nd of March before this runs out?

            • @TrafalgarSean: Same happened. A couple of hrs later when the emails came through I too was charged the higher amount.
              Business practices aside, my expiry is 03/03/22.

              • @Pred8r: Strange, I paid $1 for game pass for PC, then $1 to upgrade to Ultimate, and then removed recurring billing and my Paypal details from the account, and I have only been charged the $2 for 3 months of Ultimate.

        • +1

          Same here

          In my MS account when I clicked upgrade it said "On sale: save AU$14.95" but payment still ask for $15.95

        • https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-game-pass#join

          Try that link and see if the offer is there once you sign up for the $1 deal

          • @SlifSlif: Same $15.95

            • @superforever: Seems to be if you’ve had a previous ultimate subscription it doesn’t work. I’m outta luck too but playing halo on PC isn’t too bad I guess. Haha

              • @SlifSlif: Yeah I think that is the case "Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Expired on Aug 27, 2021"

      • Legend thank you so much it worked for me to

      • i think ultimate only for the first month, 2nd and 3rd month will be $15.95?

      • Same, worked for me! Thanks! Looking forward to play Psychonauts and Streets of Rage!

      • thanks this worked!

      • Did the exact same and got Game Pass Ultimate until 2nd March 2022 for $2 total

        • +1

          It said this for me

          ""Joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate will upgrade your remaining Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass or EA Play membership(s) into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate at the current conversion ratio, up to 36 months (any time over 36 months will be lost). Note that all conversioins are final, and the conversion ratio is subject to change."
          Your new Game Pass Ultimate renewal date will be: 3/03/2022.

          But asked for $15.95, I don't have gold, game pass, ea play, whatsoever, just joined the $1 3 months.

      • Thanks! $2 for 4 months Ultimate subscription!

      • Thanks! Got mine subscribed till 2/Apr/2022 for Xbox Ultimate. But sadly I cannot find Battlefield 2042 in their library…

    • +7

      i believe the date is backwards, so 2/1/2022 means 1st of Feb

      • Oh that actually makes much more sense…

    • +2

      Mine also expires on 2/1/22 but looking at some of my previously expired subscriptions (example 8/13/21) Indicates it's in US date format so it most likely really expires 1/2/22 which is 3 months.

  • +3

    Set for game pass till 3/2023 for around 60 bucks thanks to this + using the turkey vpn post :D would have been $16 less if I was a new user.
    Thx op

    • howwwww???? $60 gaming for 15 months.. very good deal!

      • +2

        I followed the steps in this guide however as I was an expired user and it would have cost me $15.95 to upgrade my live gold to game pass, I claimed this promo for $1 first before upgrading my live gold to GPU. That gave me three months of game pass regular and then when I upgraded my live gold to GPU for $15.95 it upgraded the 3 months game pass regular to ultimate too hence me getting 1yr+3 months of GPU.
        I bought my Live gold from CDKeys using £GBP and the promo code 'BRAINS'. Dunno if it's the best price (there are a lot of options listed in the thread) but I am familiar with CDKeys hence my choice.

        Only thing I am not sure about is how a new user would treat this promo. It costs $1/15.95 to upgrade your 1-3 years of live gold to ultimate based on whether you are a new or expired user, would getting this 3 month promo disqualify you as a new user? honestly don't know haha

  • not bad, especially they included it takes two from the 17th Nov?

  • +5

    when is this expiring?

    • would like to know too. Got 2 months free from Discord so I'm wondering if I should use that first then apply this one later on

  • +2

    So just to confirm, I can sign up for 3 months for $1, and then once I sign up, I can then buy the Xbox Game Pass from Turkey for 12 months for ~$45 per year and add to it? Or I have to buy the 3 years Game pass from Turkey now, and then activate it with this new signup?

  • Have they updated the PC app or is it still terrible? last time I used it was 6 months ago.

    • +1

      Last time I used the download speed is bad, not sure how it is now. But it's just a launcher, I don't use any of it's features rather than launch games.

    • +1

      It's a bit better in windows 11, still pretty shocking on win10

    • +1

      It's awful.

  • Not Ultimate can't try Xbox Cloud, right?

    • No, you will have to get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for that.

    • Correct, but there's still the Ultimate $1 for 1 month deal going, someone also mentioned in a comment above you can sign up for Game Pass PC for $1, then upgrade to ultimate for $1

      • In that case will ultimate last total 3 months?

        • Yes it should, here's the comment in question https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/11280795/redir

          • @mangobango: Hmm I bought $1 PC game pass and game pass ultimate didn't offer me $1

            • @superforever: Have you subbed to it before?

              • +1

                @mangobango: I have but no problem with the last few times.

                In my MS account when I clicked upgrade it said "On sale: save AU$14.95" but payment still ask for $15.95

                • @superforever: That's odd, save $14.95 but still tries to charge you the full amount 🤔

                  Not really sure what to do sorry, I was just going off what someone else posted.

                  • @mangobango: But the subscription will up to 3 March 2022, I think they tried to charge for the month Feb 2022 for $15.95.

                    With Edge saw a difference screen the Join button crossed out $15.95 to $1.00 but when clicked "something went wrong at our end"

  • +2

    If I were a current active member, could I cancel and re-sign up and get the deal?

    • +3

      This worked for me, I even got a refund for the month I paid a couple of weeks back for canceling.

      • +2

        Worked for me too.

        • Not working for me. Wants to charge me 10.95 as soon as I try to sign up again.

  • +6

    I have paid like $3 for 9 months of gamepass at this point. Gotta love how they keep on including inactive members for these deals

  • Is this for PC game or Xbox game??

    • PC

    • +2

      Xbox Game Pass for PC.

      Naming is a bit confusing but yes it's for PC.

  • What is the difference between this and Xbox Cloud?

  • -1

    I can never get these deals. My gamepass runs out on November 4th, I click the above link and it just wants to extend for 10.95 a month.

    • +1

      Cancel your sub, I just did and I was able to renew for $1 and the sub expires on the 8th of Feb.
      On top of that, it even gave me a refund of $10.95 for the current month.

    • Almost as if you're a current member so why would they give you deals for inactive members? Check again in a few days.

  • it didnt say you will get 3 months? only 1st month for $1? please help!

    • It's in smaller fine print wording as you are processing the transaction.
      On the front page it only says $1 for 1 month.

  • +1

    3 months for $1, cant complain about that!

  • +2

    Is this the one that has Halo Infinite on Day 1?

    • +2

      Yup.

      • Oh sweet thanks!

  • -5

    I feel they are a bit dumb on this offering cheap subscriptions leading up to a number of huge titles coming out ie forza and halo.
