Starfield is among the most anticipated games of recent memory, built by the team behind megahits like Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Microsoft may also want to avoid a situation where thousands sign up for temporary one-month throwaway accounts to avoid having to pay for upcoming highly expected titles like Starfield. Enough people probably know about Xbox Game Pass at this point for growth to occur organically, particularly so when you factor in the volume of upcoming Xbox games hitting the service. It makes sense that Microsoft would begin winding down this promotion, as the user acquisition phase is likely coming to an end.

From what we can tell the change seems to be global, with no mention of the $1 promo tier appearing in any country we've tested out. Instead, it links straight to the three existing tiers, either $10 per month for Xbox Game Pass on console, $10 per month for Xbox Game Pass on PC, or $15 per month for access to both and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
