Starfield will be a day one release on Game Pass, and it's likely a lot of people will sign up for the service just to play it. No explanation has been given for the change, but the timing comes less than a month prior to the release of Starfield, Xbox's biggest exclusive of 2023. Previously, subscribers could get 30 days for that price, but the number has quietly been dropped to 14 days. However, it's important to note this the $1 offer mainly started as a promotion, as Game Pass was still in its infancy when the offer was conceived.Xbox Game Pass allows new subscribers the chance to try out the service for just $1, but the amount of time the trial lasts is getting cut down. The loophole here is that it's possible for users to create specific accounts for the purpose of nailing that purchase for cheap every time the duration ends, and then recycle the process with new accounts or even sell those accounts to other users. Nonetheless, this workaround is still available, except that existing users will now pay $15 to convert to Ultimate, and new users will pay the same amount. This workaround is also cost-effective because Xbox Live Gold is available as a 3-month subscription on the Microsoft store for $25 or as an annual subscription in certain retail stores, while Ultimate is only available as a monthly subscription, making it cheaper to buy Gold and convert it than to pay monthly for Ultimate. For the uninitiated, any number of Xbox Live Gold subscription months can be easily converted into Game Pass Ultimate months by purchasing one month of the latter, and users were getting that month for $1 to convert their Gold duration instead of paying $15 per month as they should.
