Microsoft Has Reinstated The $1 Xbox Game Pass Deal, With A Catch

After killing off its popular $1 first month Xbox Game Pass deal at the end of March 2023, just three months later it has reversed that decision and brought back the deal once more. But with one alteration.

I am dying to play #Starfield. I wonder if the game pass route is the way to go.

    If you get it via game pass, the friction to get your save to the steam version means that a significant number of users who want to continue their game buy their version instead of on steam. For a game that’s more about extended exploration and hooking you in to a world, that might balance out with “lost sales”. Or at least keep people hooked long enough to spend more than they would have on the game itself.
