Get your first month for just $1

TL;DR: As of March 31, gamers can get their first month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for just $1 (normally $14.99). 

Video games with online multiplayer modes have taken on a new importance during this time of social distancing due to the novel coronavirus outbreak: Even while you’re stuck at home, you and your IRL pals can still hang out and bond over shared (virtual) experiences when you’re all gaming together.

If your crew is Team Xbox or Windows 10, it doesn’t get any better than the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plan — you get all of the benefits of Xbox Gold Live (Microsoft’s multiplayer service) and the Xbox Game Pass, which includes unlimited access to a regularly updated library of over 100 console and PC games plus exclusive member discounts. And get this: It just so happens that Microsoft is currently offering a deal where you can get your first month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (normally $14.99) for just $1.

The best part? This offer isn’t limited to new subscribers: If you already have an existing Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass membership, any prepaid months will be automatically converted to an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate plan. (Click here for more details.)

Microsoft doesn’t specify an end date for this promotion — at least, none that we could find on its website — but we’d recommend signing up sooner rather than later just to make sure you don’t miss out. (You can always cancel after the first month, anyway.) Smash the blue button below to get started. ⬇️
