Microsoft is reinstating its £1/$1 Game Pass trial, but only for PC

As was the case prior to the offer's removal, that £1/$1provides 14 daysto explore PC Game Pass' catalogue (sadly, Microsoft isn't reverting to the month-long variantlast seen in August 2023). After that, trial members will be automatically signed up to a recurring monthly subscription unless they disable auto-renewal ahead of time.

Microsoft's next big first-party release,Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, arrives on 9th December, meaning it'll be available to play as part of PC Game Pass' newly revived trial. Console players, however, willneed to pay full whack for Xbox Games Pass Ultimateif they want to play via subscription on launch day.

The PC Game Pass trial is one of a number of discounts Microsoft has announced as part of its Black Friday/Cyber Monday promotion. It's also knocking£50 off the 512GB Xbox Series Sand Xbox Series S Family & Friends bundle, and there's£40 off refurbished consolestoo.

Additionally, there's 20 percent of aselection of Xbox controllers- including the Sky Cipher and Ghost Cipher variants - plus50 percent off the Xbox Series X Mineral Camo wrapif you happen to live in a coral reef and are looking to try and disguise your machine.

Finally, those searching for something to play on their gently discounted new consoles can get "up to" 55 percent off avariety of digital games on the Microsoft Store. Mostly, these are older, lesser-known indies, but you'll find a couple of Like a Dragon titles in their too.

Microsoft notes its hardware offers will come to an end on 2nd December, but it sounds like the PC Game Pass trial will be sticking around for longer.
